SUMMARY:Cybersecurity and GRC: Building a Unified Defense
DESCRIPTION:Event details\n\n\n\nAs digital threats evolve\, so must the way organizations govern and mitigate cyber risk. Successful organizations recognize the need to unite cybersecurity functions with governance\, risk\, and compliance (GRC) frameworks. Doing so can help them more effectively protect their data\, manage evolving threats\, and meet regulatory demands while supporting broader enterprise risk objectives. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Dec. 18 for a dynamic roundtable discussion with Crowe specialists and GRC thought leaders\, “Cybersecurity and GRC: Building a Unified Defense.” We will explore the convergence of cybersecurity\, risk management\, and compliance disciplines and why now is the time to unify defenses. \n\n\n\nDuring this one-hour webinar\, panelists will discuss how integrating cyber risk with enterprise risk can lead to better board-level visibility\, how GRC frameworks can support cyber incident response and resilience\, and why insider threats and regulatory overlaps continue to challenge even the most mature organizations. Attendees will hear how companies are tackling these challenges and gain practical insights they can apply across industries and functions. \n\n\n\nTopics will include: \n\n\n\n\nThe importance of aligning cyber risk with enterprise risk\n\n\n\nUsing GRC tools and processes to support threat detection and response\n\n\n\nManaging insider threats and third-party risk across overlapping regulatory domains\n\n\n\n\nAfter attending this session\, you should be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify ways to align cyber risk management with enterprise risk and key risk indicators\n\n\n\nExplain how GRC frameworks support cyberthreat detection and response planning\n\n\n\nCompare different approaches to managing insider\, third-party\, and regulatory overlap risks\n\n\n\nAssess how leading organizations are integrating cyber and GRC tools for unified governance\n\n\n\n\nContinuing professional education\n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None \n\n\n\nProgram level: Overview \n\n\n\nAdvance preparation: None \n\n\n\nDelivery method: Webinar (group internet-based) \n\n\n\nField of study: Information technology \n\n\n\nEach session is recommended for 1.0 hour of CPE credit. \n\n\n\nNote: All participants MUST be logged into the webinar INDIVIDUALLY to receive CPE credit. CPE credit will only be granted in the name of the individual logged into the LIVE presentation.

SUMMARY:Integrating AuditBoard internal audit risk assessments with crucial qualitative insights
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n\n\n\nThis session introduces a dynamic Excel-based internal audit risk assessment companion tool designed to enhance AuditBoard’s audit planning modules.
