About Security

Technology plays a crucial role in supporting UMBC’s teaching, research, and administrative operations. DoIT is responsible for providing a safe and resilient computing environment in which to support these efforts.

Damian Doyle ’99, M.S. ’16, is the Interim Chief Information Security Officer appointed in 2023. Damian has been with UMBC since his undergraduate days, joining DoIT as a student worker and continuing on to a full-time position after graduating in 1999. Damian also serves as the Associate Vice President for Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions, a role he’s held since 2020.

UMBC adheres to the security requirements set by the USM Board of Regents. Our security program documentation is accessible to those with a UMBC account.

DoIT works closely with the UMBC Center for Cybersecurity and the UMBC Center for Women in Technology on programs to give cyber scholars real-world experience in cybersecurity by working with the DoIT security team to secure our university.
