UC DAVIS: Offices of the Chancellor and Provost May 11, 2005 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS RE: UC DAVIS CYBER-SAFETY PROGRAM An important new security policy has been officially adopted that will provide our students, faculty, and staff with a much more stable, reliable, and productive environment in which to teach, learn, and conduct research. Named the Cyber-Safety Program, the policy (PPM 310-20) defines both responsibilities and key practices for assuring the integrity, availability and confidentiality of UC Davis computing systems and electronic data. The program also requires annual reporting of how well campus units are progressing to implement the recommended security measures. Given recent personal information security breaches reported around the nation and here on campus, your active and ongoing participation in the Cyber-safety Program will be critical to our success. This policy is indeed an essential strategy for improving the UC Davis electronic work environment. We have attached the action plan that has been discussed with various campus constituencies. The action plan includes some background information as well as the timetable for the production, submission, and review of units' assessment plans and reports. Thank you for your prompt attention to this memorandum. We appreciate your collaboration in our efforts to protect the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of UC Davis resources. To access the policy and standards, see http://manuals.ucdavis.edu/ppm/310/310-22.htm. If you have questions regarding the Cyber-Safety Program or this directive, please contact Bob Ono, at (530) 757-5795 or raono@ucdavis.edu.
