Cyber Awareness Minute

Published: 07/29/2025

To the UCOR workforce:

As part of our ongoing commitment to cybersecurity and operational integrity, we want to remind everyone of the following important policy:

Employees are not permitted to develop applications, write code, or install unapproved software or tools on company-owned devices.

All requests for software, tools, or specialized applications must be submitted through IT for proper review, security evaluation, and procurement. This ensures:

  • Compliance with our cybersecurity and licensing requirements
  • Protection of sensitive company data
  • Stability and security of our network and devices

Even well-intentioned development efforts can introduce serious risks, including malware, data exposure, and system vulnerabilities.

If you believe a new tool or capability is needed for your work, please contact the IT team so we can assist you through the proper process. Thank you for helping us maintain a secure, safe, and reliable work environment.
