Bring Privacy & Security Education to Your Team

Technical safeguards alone can't protect our community — people are the first line of defence. The Privacy Matters @ UBC team offers tailored presentations and learning experiences designed to build a stronger, more informed privacy and security culture across every faculty, unit, and campus. Whether you need a focused briefing or an interactive workshop, we'll meet you where you are.

An à la carte experience built around your team

The sessions below are starting points. When you book a session, you're really telling us what your team wants to learn and how they learn best. A member of our team will follow up to scope the details with you.

	Data Privacy 101 This session covers what it means to handle data responsibly at UBC. Topics can include the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) process, IT procurement variances, and how to navigate privacy considerations when adopting new tools, including generative AI platforms.
	Phishing Prevention & Cybersecurity Hygiene Learn to recognize the tactics behind today's most common cyberattacks — credential phishing, spear-phishing, ransomware delivery, and social engineering fraud — alongside the everyday habits that keep accounts and data safe. Interactive, scenario-based, and grounded in real examples seen at UBC. Appropriate for all staff and faculty, regardless of technical comfort.
	AI Defence Readiness: What Frontier AI Means for UBC Frontier AI models can now find and exploit software vulnerabilities faster than human security teams ever could — a capability leap that's already reshaping how organizations, governments, and universities think about cyber risk. This open dialogue session uses real examples of frontier AI's cyber capabilities as a launch point to explore what "AI defence readiness" means for UBC.
	Join the Privacy Matters Champions Network The Privacy Matters Champions Network connects privacy-conscious staff and faculty across UBC who act as local enablers in their units. This session introduces what it means to be a Champion, the support and resources you'll receive, and how you can help build a distributed culture of privacy and security awareness right where you are.
	Data Privacy & Security Trivia Make learning memorable. Our trivia format is perfect for all-hands meetings, department retreats, Lunch & Learns, or team-building events. Teams compete to answer questions on real-world privacy and cybersecurity scenarios. No technical background required; just curiosity and a little competitive spirit.
