2024 IIA Winnipeg Chapter Emerging Trends in Internal Audit Summit (Virtual)
Emerging Trends in Internal Audit Summit. Cybersecurity 2024 – The Mission is Clear! ... Hosted by Stetson Cybergroup's Director of Compliance and Audit Joseph Horowitz, CISA, CIA, CDPSE, CRMA, A/CCISO. As we step into this new year, it's evident that the landscape of digital security has evolved significantly, presenting challenges that demand our immediate attention. Prior to the turn of the century, Hollywood began teasing the concept of computer hacking through well-known films like War Games (1983), Hackers (1995), and Independence Day (1996). These movies introduced audiences to the world of hacking, depicting both its positive and negative aspects. Fast forward to the 21st century, and we've seen an explosion of movies and documentaries focused on various forms of computer hacking. Today, with the prevalence of cybersecurity in Hollywood, daily news reports, and fiction, it's rare to find someone who hasn't heard the term -or worse- a person or organization who hasn’t been personally impacted by it. Initially, hackers were either individuals or small groups targeting specific companies for personal gain. However, as time passed, we've witnessed the emergence of nation-states deploying armies of hackers to steal data, information, and money from a wide range of organizations. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, there have been over 150,000 reports of fraud in Canada with over $600 million stolen since January 2021 and in the U.S. the 2023 FBI Internet Crime Report revealed staggering losses of over $12.5 billion. This is concerning, especially given the multitude of Federal and State regulations and frameworks surrounding cybersecurity and data protection. So, how do we combat these threats and minimize our risks? In this session, we'll delve into Canadian regulations that demand our attention, as well as Cybersecurity frameworks designed to simplify the implementation of necessary controls. We'll shine a light on commonly overlooked areas of risk and explore proactive measures that organizations can take to mitigate the chances of falling victim to a cyberattack. It’s 2024 where the urgency of cybersecurity is now mission critical. Will you accept this mission?
