The university invests in cybersecurity by implementing secure digital platforms for virtual learning, encrypted systems to protect academic records, and regular monitoring for cyber threats. Technical support units provide guidance on password best practices and safe internet use—ensuring that both personal data and institutional information remain protected. These measures are particularly crucial given UFG’s digital infrastructure (e-learning, IoT labs, online libraries).

Located in a region prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity, UFG proactively plans for emergencies: through structured evacuation protocols, annual drills, structural audits, and coordination with local civil defense authorities. Campus buildings are routinely inspected and staff are trained in emergency communications. In addition, UFG integrates risk awareness into class schedules, making sure that students and faculty know how to act quickly in case of a seismic event.
