Logging In: Auditing Cybersecurity in an Unsecure World- Reducing IT Risks
In this Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Logging In: Auditing Cybersecurity in an Unsecure World course, professionals will develop an understanding of cybersecurity concepts that can be used to facilitate integrated audit efforts. Considering that the average data breach costs a U.S.- based business $5.4 million, cybersecurity is a hot topic in business IT and a major challenge in internal auditing today.
Cybersecurity is as much a business risk as it is a security one, and this IIA course, facilitated by leading IT industry experts, will examine preventive, detective, and corrective controls, as well as how to apply the audit process to a cloud environment.
