Michigan IT staff have asked for IT security training, and implementation of U-M’s revised information security program, as outlined in the proposed revision to the U-M IT Security Policy, depends on knowledgeable staff. IIA has purchased a limited number of seats in several Merit training courses throughout the 2016-17 academic year. U-M’s Cyber Security Training by Merit Professional Development will cover cyber security for executives, cyber security for technical staff, secure coding, secure web application engineering, and more. Select staff members from the U-M Ann Arbor, Health System, Flint, and Dearborn campuses are receiving email invitations as the sessions are scheduled.
