Chief Information Security Office Don Welch will leave U-M to become the CISO at Penn State University. Welch joined U-M 18 months ago. His last day at Michigan will be December 2. “Don played a critical role in leading U-M’s information security program,” said Kevin Hegarty, U-M interim CIO, executive vice president, and chief financial officer. “He raised the bar for our information security program by launching several strategic initiatives to increase the security posture of our research-intensive environment, to ensure U-M has relevant and actionable compliance standards, and to safeguard against cyber-attacks. I thank Don for his service to U-M and wish him well in his new endeavors.” Hegarty plans to work with recently announced VPIT-CIO Kelli Trosvig to set a plan for interim and long-term CISO leadership.
