Description

The average cost of a data breach in the U.S. was over $9 million last year, according to IBM, and it’s only predicted to rise, making IT risk management an urgent issue for audit, risk, and compliance teams. The key to success in an effective IT risk management program is a strong IT control environment. This session will make setting up IT controls less daunting by exploring actionable best practices for conducting an IT risk assessment, including tactics to assess the right areas with greater precision. The expert speakers will also share proven ways to ensure control responsibilities are being performed appropriately to mitigate this critical risk area.
