(90 minutes)  Protecting research information and systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction is a critical component to safeguarding research information and preventing financial loss or damage to the university's reputation. Protecting confidential information is not only a legal and business requirement, but is also an ethical requirement.

Due to increased cybersecurity concerns throughout the world, research sponsors are including more stringent requirements for working with restricted data. There is a notable increase in the number of grants and contracts requiring the university to implement specific privacy and security safeguards for data and information systems as mandated by federal (HIPAA, FISMA, NIST, CMMC, FERPA, GLBA, ITAR, Privacy Act), state and/or local law, industry sanctioned (PCI-DSS), university policies (i.e. UF Privacy Office, Security Office) or agreements (i.e. Data Use Agreement, Business Associate Agreement, etc.).

This session will describe the basis of the requirements and offer best practices in creating compliant environments, with a special emphasis on the Department of Defense Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).

We recommend testing your browser as soon as possible in case you need to contact your IT department for help.

• It is recommended that you use a PC or MAC with an updated Internet Browser.
• Make sure you have pop-ups blockers disabled in your Internet browser settings.
• Make sure that your internet browser is Active X enabled.
• Wifi is not recommended. The problem with WiFi is signal strength can vary causing bandwidth to increase or decrease.
• We recommend a wired connection. A wired connection gives a consistent signal and consistent bandwidth. A wired connection provides a better experience.
• It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
• Audio (sound) is projected through your computer speakers. Be sure your computer is equipped with speakers so you can hear the presenters.
