We live in a world of seemingly pervasive cyberthreats. From data breaches to ransomware disrupting business operations, to cyberattacks being a part of military operations, there are cyber incidents that make the news on an almost daily basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Securing the University of Michigan video<\/a> explores the cyberthreats we face and the actions the university takes to protect its resources, data, and the U-M community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2018 and 2021, the average cost of a data breach in the U.S. has gone from $7.3 million to $9.05 million<\/a> and global cybercrime costs are estimated to top $10 trillion by 2025<\/a>. Academic institutions are not immune from attacks, and are increasingly a target for cyber threat actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITS Information Assurance (IA) works across the university to secure U-M digital resources against cyberattacks while maintaining the integrity of the U-M culture, our privacy, academic freedom, and freedom of thought and expression. IA does this by partnering with units to ensure the university community is aware of their shared responsibility to protect U-M<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, IA has helped U-M up its security game by implementing a number of solutions. In January 2020, Duo<\/a> two-factor authentication became required for all faculty, staff and students accessing U-M systems that use weblogin. In 2020 and 2021, IA rolled out Crowdstrike<\/a> for enhanced endpoint protection, Area 1<\/a>, an advanced anti-phishing solution that works with existing U-M email services, and Virtru<\/a> for an added layer of email security that provides several features, including options to encrypt end-to-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information Assurance is a shared responsibility, and every member of our community has a role to play in helping secure the University of Michigan. Check out the new Securing the University of Michigan video<\/a> and share it with your community as a reminder of our responsibility to protect U-M\u2019s resources, data, and each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
