Privacy Statement
Berkeley prioritizes privacy and data protection for individuals with EDR software installed on university-owned computers and servers. Campus EDR is not intended for installation on personally owned devices. The Campus Privacy Office and the Information Risk Governance Committee (IRGC) are reviewing our EDR program. See our detailed Privacy and Process Documentation for more information.
Install the Berkeley Security Software on your university-owned computers by April 25.
Berkeley Security Software provides a single installer with two components: BigFix is used for asset management and vulnerability identification, and Trellix is used for Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) to enhance security incident response and containment. For business needs that prevent installing EDR, you may request an exception.
- You do not need to take action if you have a campus-managed computer (aka Berkeley Desktop). Unsure if you have a campus-managed computer? Learn how to check here.
