Keep Your Tech Up To Date

Our ZotDefend campaign, launched fall 2024, continues to protect UCI’s digital world. As a community, you’ve already committed to completing cybersecurity training, which offers a first line of defense against cyber risk. We thank you for your diligent completion of this important yearly compliance.

Now we’re shifting our focus to strengthening the security of our multi-factor authentication system, Duo. In the coming months, additional safeguards will be implemented into Duo to fortify the system to even greater levels of protection. 

Our ask: Please ensure your Duo application is updated to version 4.49 or higher.

Running Duo on the latest version allows our security settings to be tailored to the highest industry standards, and helps protect important data and resources such as UCPath.

Beginning February 19, 2025, if your app is not utilizing 4.49+, a pop-up compliance reminder will appear in your Duo Mobile App on your phone. 

• If you see this, please update immediately with directions from this KB article.
• If your device is unable to update due to outdated technology or other compliance issues, contact our Help Desk for more information. 

If you have questions regarding ZotDefend or updating your Duo application, please contact our Help Desk at oit@uci.edu.
