ucsf.edu Overview

Description of ucsf.edu

ucsf.edu appears to be the official website of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), a longstanding academic and medical institution in the United States. The homepage branding, page title, and navigation indicate that the site supports core university functions such as education, research, patient care, and news distribution.

Based on the domain name and visible content, the website is operated by UCSF as part of its institutional web presence under the .edu namespace. The site appears to serve students, faculty, researchers, patients, donors, and the general public by providing access to university information, healthcare-related resources, and institutional updates.

Safety Assessment for ucsf.edu

Based on available scan data, no threats were detected at the time of this scan. The domain was not flagged by any of 91 security engines, the malware scan reported no flagged files, and the checked threat-database and blacklist sources did not indicate known phishing or malware activity.

Additional context also supports a low-risk assessment at this point in time: the domain is approximately 40 years old, has a strong traffic presence, and the visible page content is consistent with a legitimate university website rather than a parked page, impersonation page, or scam-style storefront. The only notable technical artifact in the collected links is a challenge-platform URL, which commonly appears when a site uses traffic filtering or bot protection. Based on available scan data, no significant threats were detected at the time of this scan.

Technical Description

The site is using a valid SSL/TLS certificate issued through Internet2, with a listed expiry in August 2026. The web stack appears to be fronted by Cloudflare, while the origin hosting is associated with AWS EC2 in Ashburn, Virginia. This combination is common for large organizations that use a content-delivery and protection layer in front of cloud-hosted infrastructure.

DNSSEC status was not available in the provided data, so that control could not be confirmed from this scan alone. No immediate technical security concerns were evident in the supplied results, and the observed challenge-platform URL suggests the site may use automated request filtering or anti-bot protections.
