On June 18-19, 2019, technical professionals and administrative managers from ten University of California campuses and medical centers/health systems will convene at UC Davis for the ninth Information Security Symposium. This biennial event provides IT professionals from all UC campuses, other higher education guests, and invited California state agencies, the opportunity to meet and discuss computer, network and information security issues and strategies, and provides an ideal forum for the exchange of privacy and security enhancement ideas and solutions. As technology advances, so do the cyber security threats. Security and the use of technology to confront these threats is a high priority for the California university systems and state agencies.
