2017

All UIT employees are cordially invited to this year's UIT Employee Holiday Luncheon and Prize Drawing, which will be held on Thursday, December 14, 2017 from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at the Rice-Eccles Stadium.

For more than 20 years, the University of Utah has represented research computing and advanced cyberinfrastructure at the annual Supercomputing Conference. This year’s conference took place November 12-17 in Denver, Colorado.

The balance between IT security and operational efficiency will always exist, but information security teams are increasingly recognized as vital partners in protecting an organization’s interests.

To cut down on digital noise, UIT rolled out a pilot change in September to the UConnect network in 102 Tower, transitioning to a 5GHz-only network. Subject to the outcome of the pilot, 5GHz may become the U's new baseline frequency.

Randy Arvay, the University's Chief Information Security Officer, weighed in on the challenging topic – "The Legal and Financial Considerations of a Cyber Attack on Physical Infrastructure" – at a federally-funded seminar on October 11.
