SPECIAL EVENTS!
Two-Step & LastPass information sessions
In preparation of the January 30 two-step login requirement for Single Sign-On and the VPN, IT Services is hosting a final informational session on two-step and LastPass:
1/22/19 10 a.m. – noon Price Center West, Bear Room
Feel free to drop in as you're able to register your devices for two-step login and sign up for your campus Lastpass account. All UC San Diego and Health Sciences faculty and staff are invited. Join us and prevent being locked out from access to Business Systems applications and the VPN on January 30!
Data Privacy Day and Data Privacy Month
It is timely that our roll out of two-step login occurs just after International Data Privacy Day (Jan. 28) and ahead of Data 
Privacy Month (Feb. 1-28). Using two-step login is one good privacy practice this initiative highlights as it helps us protect personal information collected for university business purposes (or our own and our families') from inappropriate and unauthorized access. Privacy and protecting personal information is important to UC San Diego. We all have a role in privacy and security, as well as respecting and protecting the personal information of our colleagues and students. We are #PrivacyAware.
