Berkeley Security Software

Berkeley Security Software is required on all university-owned computers.

UC Berkeley’s reputation for excellence in research and academic integrity depends on the reliability and security of our data. By committing to cybersecurity best practices, each of us helps to protect groundbreaking research, preserve student privacy, and maintain the integrity and availability of our academic and administrative services. Our cybersecurity program enables UC Berkeley to continue innovating while complying with UC System-mandated safeguards.

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.

Note: You do not need to take any action if you have a campus-managed computer (as known as the Berkeley Desktop). Unsure if you have a campus-managed computer? Learn how to check here.
