A cybersecurity audit plan to assess and strengthen resiliency

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.

• 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

• How to build individual cyber audit programs to effectively utilize your current approach to in improving resilience against cyber attacks
