A cybersecurity audit plan to assess and strengthen resiliency
Event Description
Cyber breaches continue to surge. Over the past two years, since the start of the global pandemic, the cost of cybercrimes have increased over 300%. Research also suggests that the cost of global crimes are expected to reach over $10 trillion by 2025. As underlying technology and architecture continue to evolve to provide better computing resources, cyberattacks become more complex and unpredictable, helping fuel the explosion of breaches and financial loss.
As internal auditor leaders build their annual audit plans, how are industry leaders addressing this fast-paced cyber risk? In many cases, they first consider the broader perspective of their IT landscape, Cybersecurity, and Information security, and how these business support functions depend on each other to protect the company from external attackers and prevent disruption to business operations. Further, with cyber risk often being a top risk within organizations, they've created a cyber risk assessment and plan imbedded within the annual audit planning process. Approaches like these help internal audit leaders ensure they have comprehensive cyber risk coverage and moves Internal Audit further into a trusted advisor role within their organization.
Join the Grant Thornton Internal Audit Cybersecurity team on September 21st for a webcast to discuss how internal audit can more effectively assess their organization’s cyber risk and build a robust, multi-year cyber audit strategy.
The discussion will focus on:
- Emerging threats and the changing cyber risk landscape
- IT, Cybersecurity, and Information Security program inter-dependence, and how can these be evaluated by combining IT, cyber and technical capability assessments with risk-based control frameworks
- Leading practices internal auditors can consider in developing a specific cyber risk assessment workstream to help drive their annual audit plan.
- How to build individual cyber audit programs to effectively utilize your current approach to in improving resilience against cyber attacks
- Outcomes of a well-defined internal audit plan and how it can provide comprehensive coverage for protection against the rising threat of cybercrimes
