Join us as we showcase our solution for creating a user-friendly interface to track operational tasks. The Campus Application and Data Security team is dedicated to providing services that ensure consistency, data integrity, and compliance with our Service Level Agreements. To achieve this, we have utilized Smartsheets to inventory all tasks in a centralized location. This approach enables us to generate metrics and monitor resource capacity.

As AI vendors rapidly introduce new features without consulting institutions, the risks to security, compliance, and privacy grow significantly. Unapproved AI functionalities can introduce vulnerabilities, increasing the chances of data breaches and unauthorized access. These updates may also violate critical regulations like FERPA and HIPAA, complicating compliance and exposing institutions to legal risks.

As Generative AI continues to expand into our every day working lives securing our conversations becomes more and more vital. UCSF, long with many other UCs, have recently enabled to Zoom's AI Companion for our meetings. This talk will dive into the security and vetting process to enabling this feature, outline what type of data classification and conversation types are cleared for these type of calls, and explain what per cautions are implace to ensure our data security going forward.

In an era of operational unpredictability, climate disruptions, and escalating cyber threats, a robust Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is not optional, it is existential. This session introduces a structured ISO-style review framework for evaluating DRPs against the University of California's IS-12 policy. Through a practical checklist covering both procedural and technical dimensions, participants will learn to assess alignment with institutional goals, identify gaps, and verify the presence of cybersecurity risk considerations.

Our institution has launched an innovative collaboration between our generative AI solution and a student-led cybersecurity club, setting new standards for AI security testing and student engagement in real-world challenges. Key aspects: Unique partnership: Students access pre-release code in staging environments Comprehensive testing methods: Input boundaries, system prompt extraction, web application security, LLM, jailbreaking Focus on AI-specific vulnerabilities: Exploring unique risks posed by AI systems Educational impact: Hands-on experience in penetration testing for students Real-wor

The cybersecurity landscape is rapidly evolving, with new threats emerging at an alarming pace. This panel of UC CISOs will explore the most pressing cybersecurity challenges facing higher education, including AI-powered attacks, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the increasing sophistication of ransomware. The session will delve into strategic defense mechanisms, proactive threat mitigation, and the importance of collaboration across the UC system. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the panelists during an extended Q&A session.
