Duration: 1 hour
Moderator:
Betsy Bowers, President of ACUA, Associate Vice President, Internal Auditing & Management Consulting, University of West Florida
Presenter:
Phillip Hurd, CISSP, CISA, CBM, Associate Director, Internal Auditing for Information Systems, Georgia Institute of TechnologyWho Attended:
- Internal auditors
- Staff auditors
- Other professionals who need to assess the risk of stored data or analyze the controls in place of critical data
This webinar focuses on the risks posed by data in different environments, how to categorize data based on the risks associated with each information element and how to create a safeguards matrix to ensure auditable controls to mitigate data. This webinar should provide a solid foundation to data auditing and methodology concepts of how to build controls to minimize data loss in the event of a security breach. The Georgia Institute of Technology’s data security model will be used as an adaptable baseline and reference that will provide insight into actual implementation of the aforementioned concepts into a large scale university environment. Learning Outcomes:
- Develop a baseline list of data that poses risk to a higher education environment
- Create a data categorization model
- Assess the technical controls over key and critical data
- Develop a baseline audit plan for data controls analysis
- Create a baseline concept of how to design controls to minimize vulnerability during a data breach
Presenter's Bio:
Phillip Hurd, CISSP, CISA, CBM, Assoc. Dir. of Internal Auditing for Information Systems, Georgia Institute of Technology
Phillip joined Georgia Tech in June of 1999 after a 10-year military career. Trained as an expert in the maintenance of electronic warfare systems Phil played a critical role in the support of our national intelligence infrastructure. His military duties have taken him to Germany, Korea, Hawaii, and various states in the continental U.S. In the late 1990’s, during North Korea’s nuclear experimentation era, he served as a Communications Facility Chief for a strategic outpost on the Korean demilitarized zone (DMZ). This life shaping challenge helped him to understand the need for confidentially, integrity, and availability of information assets and their role in organizational operations.
