Overview
Organizations need to establish robust cybersecurity programs to:
- Address risks to organizational infrastructure and data from cyberattacks through effective control design, the establishment of protection measures, identification of warning signs, and investigative techniques.
- Establish compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
Today’s auditor needs to know more than just the terms and concepts regarding cybersecurity. They need to understand what controls are needed, why they are important, where the controls should be positioned, and how to perform substantive tests to assess the control’s reasonable effectiveness specifically related to cybersecurity. This class will explore cybersecurity through a series of lecture segments and related scenarios based on actual events designed to reinforce the attendee’s knowledge of effective control design, execution, warning signs, and investigative techniques. By the end of the session, attendees will be armed with additional knowledge of how to implement and assess controls and how, as auditors, they can be valued players in their organization's “Cyber Defense Team.”
