Description

$150 (per person) includes an online webinar for 2 hours of CPE credit

Government agencies, and our country’s infrastructure, have been reported as susceptible to cyberattacks.

This two-hour webinar is designed specifically for government auditors to provide a solid understanding of cybersecurity regulations, frameworks, and internal controls that could play an important part in protecting our nation in accordance with the United States Government Accountability Office’s Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government (GAO-14-704G).

In this session, you will learn about the cybersecurity regulations most talked about (but in need of greater enforcement) and which cybersecurity framework is implemented the most to cover entire organizations. You will also learn the basic cybersecurity technology and non-technology controls your organization should implement and what to test annually as part of a repeatable audit program.

Participants should have a working knowledge of internal controls and a desire to be a part of an effective, repeatable cybersecurity, information security, and data protection program.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize what cybersecurity is, why it’s important and understand the difference between cybersecurity regulations and frameworks.
• Determine how to use cybersecurity frameworks to conduct risk assessments.
• Identify basic cybersecurity controls to incorporate into annual audit programs.
• Define how audits should become part of the annual cybersecurity program.
