Beginning June 22, 91ÑÇɫ’s University Information Technology (UIT) team will enrol all University-owned administrative staff computers in approved management platforms.
As cyber threats targeting higher education continue to increase, 91ÑÇÉ« is taking steps to strengthen the security standards of its devices. Effective June 22, all University-owned computers must meet a defined security baseline that specifies the minimum set of protections to safeguard University systems, research and data.
For most users, there will be little to no change. Users will be notified ahead of enrolment, which can be completed remotely. Enrolment of faculty member computers is planned to begin in late fall. This change is being implemented in accordance with the new Procedure on Use and Security of University-Owned Computing Devices.
Management platforms do not provide access to personal files, research materials, emails, browsing history or user activity. 91ÑÇÉ« remains committed to protecting academic freedom and the privacy of its community while strengthening institutional cybersecurity.
