Session Description
August 15 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Join us for the next Cyber security and your research(ers) Office Hours session.
These monthly office hours are geared towards researchers and research-supporting staff, by (1) providing a forum for them to ask questions and gain deeper insight into safeguarding their intellectual property and research data and (2) informing them of new and existing initiatives, resources, and supports available to help secure their research.
Each session will open with a brief presentation (5 - 10 minutes) on a cyber security topic or resource relevant to the research community, followed by ample time for researchers and staff to ask questions about and/or discuss opportunities and avenues for securing their research data.
Format: Virtual
Presentation topic:
- Password managers (1Password)
- U of T's safe password practices recommends using a password manager to help securely generate, store and organize your passwords, passphrases and passkeys for your various accounts. Information Security has procured a limited number of 1Password Business licenses that are available to faculty members and staff.

- Michael Laurentius, Research Information Security Specialist, Information Security
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify opportunities for safeguarding their intellectual property and data integrity
- Locate departmental, divisional, and institutional resources and supports for securing their research projects
Additional Information
The Research Information Security Program (RISP)'s goal is to facilitate and enable the innovative research of our academic community while creating and championing opportunities for safeguarding their intellectual property and data integrity. By collaborating with, supporting and advocating for researchers and research administrative and technical staff, RISP helps to foster fruitful solutions and cross-campus connections to address relevant cyber security-related topics and requirements.
