Program Content:
The threat of a cyber attack is significant and can be devastating. Companies have moved away from designing their cyber programs as a ""best practice"" and have, instead, begun to develop these programs to maximize resiliency as a necessary means in maintaining their financial, compliance and reputational posture. Companies continue to expand cybersecurity capabilities by integrating cyber risk management into day-to-day operations. With this increased reliance and ever evolving attack techniques facing today's companies, the importance of an independent review by internal audit has never been greater. Internal Audit plays a crucial role in ensuring an organization is resilient against cyber attacks.
