Understand the importance of Data Privacy and Information Security at UBC

Privacy and information security at UBC is largely dependent on faculty and staff taking an active role in keeping data secure. The Privacy Matters @ UBC initiative aims to increase the awareness of privacy and information security at UBC. Higher education institutions are often the target of data breaches, which not only affect the individuals whose personal information is compromised, but also the organization experiencing the breach. Privacy Matters @ UBC provides the community with the information needed to protect personal information and to keep UBC's data secure.
