Leadership

Donna Kidwell

Chief Information Security Officer

Donna’s commitment to building relationships within a trust-based organization aligns with the IT@UofT vision. Her approach to cyber security is not just about protecting assets, but also about enabling a framework for innovation, learning, discovery and strengthening ties with key national partners such as CANARIE/CanSSOC. This perspective is crucial as we execute our Information Security Strategic Plan and continue to advance the University’s mission in a digitally connected world. As U of T’s CISO and Deputy CIO, Donna is set to have a transformative impact as she champions a secure, agile and resilient digital future for our community.
