• New Training Session Sign In Process

    We will be beta testing a barcode based sign in process (replacing the physical sign-in sheets) for our monthly training sessions. The barcode that will be used for the sign-in is at the bottom of the registration confirmation email. You can use your cell phone or a paper print out of the registration confirmation email to sign in. This will enable us to track attendance better and also enable uploading of session CPEs directly to ISACA International.

Session I - Cybersecurity Risk Management and Network Security Auditing

Cybersecurity threats are becoming more prevalent and breaches are highly publicized.  Board of Directors and Audit Committees alike are continuing to ask how management is addressing this threat and how they are managing the risk of a data breach. Leveraging the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and approaches to cybersecurity risk quantification via the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) Methodology, we have helped clients simplify the concepts of cybersecurity, show members how their organization ranks amongst their peers in relation to InfoSec maturity, and provide management targeted recommendations on how to prioritize and address gaps within their controls to ultimately mitigate risks to the company.

We will discuss this approach, and leading practices to effectively audit and assess technical network security controls, such as logging and monitoring, configuration management, and incident response.

Speaker:  Daniel Stone, CISA, CPA

Session II - Topic: Robotic Process Automation, Process Mining and Next Generation Auditing

The objectives of "Next Gen" IA functions may be straightforward, but the means by which they achieve these objectives include a range of innovative approaches and tools, that must be tailored to specific organizations and their needs.  Process mining tools can fundamentally change the way that we analyze processes and perform audits with automation in walkthroughs, revealing process variants and complexities, and identifying areas that do not comply with intended process design.  Along with potential areas for Robotic Process Automation (RPA) within internal audits own activities, the audit function should have a role in identifying risks and providing guidance around control and design enhancements across the adoption of RPA in the business.
