OIT Launches ZotDefend, a Cybersecurity Campaign Protecting UCI’s Digital World

by | Sep 18, 2024 | Home Page News, News

As UC Irvine increases digital collaboration, protecting our shared electronic information is more critical than ever. Over the next year, UC Irvine will be working diligently to update, strengthen and elevate our security processes to achieve new security standards that all UC campuses have committed to upholding. This initiative, named ZotDefend, will focus on protecting UCI’s digital world.

OIT’s first campus wide initiative under ZotDefend is facilitating the completion of Cybersecurity Awareness Training for all employees. Protecting UCI’s information and resources is vital to the security of our future and a responsibility that each of us share, which is why we must reach 100% compliance across campus.

Additional changes and updates to services affected by this campaign will be communicated in the coming weeks and months.
