SUMMARY:3 CPE - INFOSEC Compliance Now
DESCRIPTION:Explore what’s next in cyber risk and compliance\n\n\n\nUncover tomorrow’s threats\, today.\n\n\n\nJoin AuditBoard for InfoSec Compliance Now 2025\, a free half-day virtual event where industry experts dive deep into trends across cyber risk and compliance. Topics include AI\, third-party risk management\, risk quantification\, and more. \n\n\n\nSession 1 \n\n\n\nDemystifying AI Audits: A Practical Guide to Compliance\n\n\n\nComplex machine learning (ML) models are often referred to as “black boxes” and even the data scientists that trained the models may not be able to explain the underlying algorithmic decisions. While this lack of visibility is a reality\, it doesn’t mean that the entire AI and ML lifecycle is unknowable and unauditable. In fact\, AI and ML can and should be part of a comprehensive compliance program.In this presentation\, we’ll explore where and how InfoSec\, compliance\, and audit professionals can assess AI models as well as the risk posed by AI through third parties. We will explain the differences between assessing DevOps and MLOps and show where process inventory\, policy management\, MLBoMs (machine learning bill of materials)\, and supply chain safety can be applied to provide visibility and audibility to an ML-aware audit program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:30 – 9:30 AM PT1 CPE CREDIT \n\n\n\n\nDiana KelleyCISOProtect AI\n\n\n\n\nSession 2 \n\n\n\nRisk-Based IT Compliance: The Case for Business-Driven Cyber Risk Quantification\n\n\n\nIT compliance and cybersecurity teams have long struggled to effectively communicate the impact of threats and vulnerabilities to executives.

SUMMARY:Public sector power hour: Succession planning for workforce stability
DESCRIPTION:On average\, local government entities – schools\, cities\, utilities and counties – spend a substantial amount of their budgets on wages\, salaries and benefits because public services\, more so than in the private sector\, rely heavily on people performing the work. However\, many organizations do not intentionally focus on how turnover risk\, vacancy rates and retention initiatives can impact their service delivery. Just as you need a strategic plan\, capital improvement plan and master plan\, a comprehensive workforce succession plan is essential to ensure critical operations continue when employees retire or move to other organizations.    \n\n\n\nJoin Baker Tilly for a panel discussion to discover how both large and small public sector entities have developed and implemented workforce succession plans. Learn how these plans can prevent future vacancies from hindering their ability to meet immediate service needs and achieve long-term goals.   \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:   \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the importance of workforce succession planning and why a comprehensive succession plan is crucial for ensuring continuity and therefore service delivery for public sector entities. \n\n\n\nIdentify key strategies for effective succession planning and hear best practices that both large and small public sector entities have successfully implemented and the positive impacts they have had on their organizations. \n\n\n\nGain practical insights into creating and implementing actional workforce succession plans. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers include: \n\n\n\nMatt Bubness\, Director\, Baker Tilly Municipal AdvisorsAndrea Cutler\, MPA\, CLRM\, PSHRA-SCP\, 2025 Public Sector Human Resources Association PresidentSabrina King-Leonce\, M.S.\, Director of Human Resources\, Virgin Islands Water and Power AuthorityAllison LeMay\, Senior Manager\, Baker Tilly Public Sector AdvisoryStephanie Rogers\, CPA\, Business Manager\, Green Bay Water UtilityJay Staley\, Director\, Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors \n\n\n\nInformation about CPE eligibility:  \n\n\n\nThere are no prerequisites for this webinar\, and advance preparation is not required.There is no cost to attend this webinar.   \n\n\n\nA certificate of completion will be emailed to you four to six weeks after the event.     \n\n\n\nCPE credit: One (1) hour total credit   Level: IntermediateField of study: Personnel/human resources \n\n\n\nFor more information regarding administrative policies such as complaint and refund policies\, please email learning@bakertilly.com.    \n\n\n\nBaker Tilly is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.
