Email Security

UCSF email security includes an anti-phishing, anti-malware service as part of the broader threat-detection and analytics platform leveraged at UCSF and sister UC campuses. This service taps into a global network for continuous updates on new variants of malware, providing the most current protection. 

Email security draws on this real evidence, in combination with contextual intelligence about attacks and attackers, to prioritize alerts and block threats in real-time. Please refer to the Email Protection (Requires UCSF Login) and Secure Email pages for more information.
