Security Training for New Faculty and Staff, Division of Rheumatic and Autoimmune Diseases in the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota

Partnering with the Office of Information Technology, the University Privacy & Security Office produced the Public Jobs: Private Data University Security Training Program.  The program covers security measures required for handling private data protected under federal and state laws as well as University policies. Employees learn to identify security issues, how to protect data and hardware, and the protocol for responding to a security problem.

All University faculty, staff, student workers, and health science students and volunteers will be required to take the training.
