Pursuant to University System of Georgia (USG) policy, Section 5.8 (page 66), all USG organizations must implement endpoint security by "deploying tools that add a layer of security to devices connecting to networks that may otherwise make them vulnerable to cyber attacks." Georgia Tech's Endpoint Management & Protection Program ensures secure management of all Institute-owned endpoint devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. In early 2020, President Cabrera requested that campus leadership work with their respective teams to ensure full attention and participation in the endpoint compliance effort and other efforts related to data security and protection.
