Learn more about how you can protect your identity, personal information, and institutional data from Information and Educational Technology (IET) during Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October.
National Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a collaboration between the government and private industry to raise awareness about digital security and empower everyone to protect personal and institutional data from digital crimes.
At UC Davis this year, we are raising awareness about four impactful topics for our campus community: personal cybersecurity, data classification, multi-factor authentication, and information security policies. Explore the stories and topics below to learn how to protect yourself and the university against cyber crime.
Demystifying the Vendor Risk Assessment Process
UC Davis processes continue to evolve to adhere to the IS-3 Policy requirements. As technology continues to change, new risks emerge, thus UC Davis’s approaches to security must evolve as well. While you may have made a recent technology purchase without a VRA, those same purchases or renewals may require one in the future. VRAs are a point-in-time assessment, revealing threats and vulnerabilities that could adversely affect end users, operations, your department, and the entire university. When everyone works together to understand the security risks and their potential impacts, we can enhance the security of individual programs, departments, and UC Davis.
