To this end, we are announcing changes to some key IA tools that will improve our unit partners&#8217; ability to analyze and reduce security threats and risks for their units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New InfoAssure Portal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IA has transitioned to the new InfoAssure.umich.edu portal for IT Security Risk Analysis, having retired the previous web portal on March 31st.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new portal, using technology from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onetrust.com\/\">OneTrust<\/a>, provides a smoother and faster workflow for Risk Evaluation of Computers and Open Networks (<a href=\"https:\/\/safecomputing.umich.edu\/it-security-professionals\/unit-resources\/recon\">RECONs<\/a>). The new InfoAssure portal allows IA staff and unit partners to send and receive information, respond to questions, and mark tasks complete, while storing the information about an assessment in a single place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This also helps replace the need for internal development of tools to track and manage our important risk management work,&#8221; said Sol Bermann, Executive Director of Information Assurance and Chief Information Security Officer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IA also hopes to leverage this tool to support external third party risk assessment, and possibly other assessment processes in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MitiGate Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original MitiGate portal provided Security Unit Liaisons (SULs), unit IT leaders, and unit leadership with security risk information. The tool, developed by IA in 2019, sourced point-in-time data from multiple authoritative systems. Since that time, there have been improvements to IA solutions, including the CrowdStrike console, Tenable.io for unit IT, and the Sensitive Data Discovery portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To provide easier access to real-time data, IA is replacing the MitiGate application with <a href=\"https:\/\/safecomputing.umich.edu\/it-security-professionals\/security-unit-liaisons\/mitigate-resources\">a web page for MitiGate Resources<\/a> (accessible only by Security Unit Liaisons) that combines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shortcuts to the systems providing real-time data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Important information contained in IT Security Community presentations and Unit Security Checklists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Links to other IA capabilities designed to help units identify and manage IT security risks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any questions regarding these IA updates, submit a ticket to the <a href=\"https:\/\/teamdynamix.umich.edu\/TDClient\/30\/Portal\/Requests\/TicketRequests\/NewForm?ID=316\">ITS Service Center<\/a> and assign it to the ITS-Security group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Information Assurance (IA) is committed to continually improving and streamlining capabilities, tools, and resources that support all of our shared responsibility to protect U-M systems and data.
