A new DCE101: Cybersecurity and Data Protection at U-M training course is now available in My LINC. This course provides practical data protection guidance and cybersecurity awareness for faculty and staff across all U-M academic campuses. It is a slimmed-down version of the previous DCE101 training, but still covers all the relevant content for those with access to U-M systems and data.
In addition to providing a shorter, more accessible, and widely applicable course, the new course includes more engaging content, and will be updated more frequently. The new course should take no more than 10-15 minutes to complete, and will cover:
- The key points of data protection and the associated resources for finding more information.
- How to spot phishing scams and other cybersecurity threats.
- Basic guidance on how to protect yourself and your electronic devices.
This refreshed training replaces the previous DCE101: U-M Data Protection and Responsible Use course. It does not replace specific FERPA, HIPAA, or PCI courses that a unit may require. Effective Monday, April 7, 2025, those who request system access that has DCE101 as a training requirement will be directed to take the new course. Additionally:
- The course is also available to units to assign as a requirement to their staff.
- Contact [email protected] if you are interested in assigning the course within your unit.
