Internal audit at a crossroads: Adapting to cyber threats and new standards
August 13, 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Description:
As cyber risks continue to evolve in complexity and scale, so too must the standards and practices of internal audit. To remain effective and deliver meaningful value to the business, internal audit teams must adapt — enhancing their approach to risk, controls, and assurance. This transformation is being driven by updates to the Global Internal Audit Standards released by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) in 2024, along with the new IIA Cybersecurity Topical Requirement in 2025. These changes provide a framework for internal audit functions to strengthen their role in cybersecurity oversight and align with emerging expectations. In this webinar, we will:
- Explore the latest developments in the cybersecurity landscape and their implications for internal audit.
- Examine how audit teams are evolving their strategies to deliver greater impact.
- Break down key updates from the 2024 IIA Standards revision.
- Discuss the 2025 IIA Cybersecurity Requirement and what it means for your audit function.
- Explain how to integrate these requirements into your audit planning process.
- Share real-world examples of how these standards can be applied effectively.
Join us to gain practical insights and actionable guidance that will help your internal audit team stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly changing risk environment.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Describe current cybersecurity trends and threats, and explain how these developments influence the scope and priorities of internal audit functions.
- Identify and interpret the major changes introduced in the updated IIA Standards and Cybersecurity Requirement, and assess their implications for audit planning and execution.
