What can be done to protect unauthorized access to data stored on Google servers?
The privacy and security provisions in the agreement with Google state that administration and management of Gmail accounts in the UC Davis domain are under the control of UC Davis email administrators. User authentication is provided by our campus Central Authentication Service (CAS). CAS provides an added level of security since no password information is sent to Google. Users should remember that CAS authentication is provided only when they use the Web interface. If they access DavisMail via an IMAP or POP client, CAS is not used. For details on IMAP and POP setup please see question 33.
