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.

regarding the Cyber-Safety Program or this directive, please contact
