Cyber Security
Cyber Security is a body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect data and other digital assets from cyber-attacks, damage or unauthorised access.
University data can contain sensitive information such as intellectual property, financial data or personal information that all members of the UWA community have a responsibility to protect.
Our services are available to all members of the UWA community, helping you protect your and the University's data and digital assets.

At the heart of our cyber security efforts is the mission to enable users of the University’s IT assets and services, our students, staff or third parties, to do their business and achieve their goals in a secure manner. In turn, everyone has to be aware of certain security responsibilities and the role we all play in maintaining adequate security. Our policies define the principles that the University Community must follow when using UWA IT systems and services.
