Reminder: Annual Cyber Security Training

Dear colleagues,

As you may know, October is Cyber Security Awareness Month. Protecting UCI’s data and information is vital and a responsibility that each of us share. The threat of cyberattacks continues to grow and can put UCI’s intellectual property, personal information and research in jeopardy. A major security breach is not only complex and expensive to repair, but it can cause long-term damage to the reputation of the university.

Good information security practices help safeguard data. A number of cyberattacks involve the unintended actions of users, a risk that can be significantly lowered through effective training. Please do your part to keep UCI’s data safe and complete this training in a timely manner.

You will receive an email reminder with instructions when it is time to renew your annual cyber security training.
