Next week a record 700+ attendees will attend the virtual Information Security Symposium. The event will present talks, labs, and discussions on topics involving cybersecurity and privacy for UC and other higher education security and compliance professionals. The theme is “Adapt” – a continuing priority as campuses adjust to changes caused by COVID-19.

The organizing committee created a list of top 5 reasons to attend the symposium:

1. Earn CPEs
2. Network with colleagues and make new connections
3. Learn new ways of addressing cybersecurity and privacy challenges
4. Win unique prizes
5. Enjoy fantastic entertainment

Traditionally, the symposium meets on the UC Davis campus. However, due to COVID-19, the 2021 symposium will use a virtual format. The 2019 symposium drew more than 500 technical professionals and administrators, mostly from within the University of California, but also from other California state universities and state agencies.
