Session I -  Least Privilege for Endpoints (3 hours) - 0830-1100 AM Session

Most corporate desktops are not secured, protected, nor safe. Whether you are running Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, or 8 most of these end point computers are opening up security holes for the entire network. The reasons these end point computers are insecure vary. Regardless of the reason, the root result of the insecurity is due to the fact that user is a local administrator on the computer. Some might ask what about a solution to this dilemma? The solution is to implement least privilege, which is also referred to as Least Privilege User Access (LUA). In this workshop, Derek Melber will guide you through the proper solutions, and expose you to the failed solutions, in solving this complex issue with desktops. When you have completed this workshop, you will have all you need to develop and deploy a least privilege solution in your company.

Session II - Agility and Stability: Strategies for Continued Career Success (1 hr) - 1100-1200 AM Session

As the IT Audit profession continues to evolve and becomes increasingly diverse, guiding your career has become more complex.  The Sarbanes-Oxley “boom,” followed immediately by the economic “bust”, each created unique challenges for ISACA professionals.  Now that the “burden” of SOX compliance has diminished and budgets are being replenished, IT Audit & Assurance leaders are allocating resources to address a broader variety of IT risk activities.  This “raises the bar” and creates new expectations for performance.  This session will provide attendees with practical strategies to deliver value and ensure continued relevance in the dynamic world of IT Audit.
