Top Requirements for Successfully Automating SOX: Part 2

Consumer demand is driving the corporate IT environment. Business demands for IT are changing rapidly — so too are the demands on IAM — resulting in the requirement to adopt emerging technologies (e.g., mobile and cloud computing, data loss prevention, and social media) earlier and more quickly. Scalability is critical for any business that wants to catalyze short- and long-term success. A flexible workflow for identity verification can help organizations of all sizes with limited time, resources, and funding to focus their efforts on initiatives that support positive growth. While your business might be conducting background checks today, it could have different verification needs in the future to ease onboarding friction, prevent data breaches, and demonstrate regulatory compliance.

It’s important to begin laying the groundwork now for a more sophisticated and intricate verification program so you can be proactive, not reactive, but what does a scalability strategy look like? In this CPE accredited panel webinar our experts will address how to create identity and credential verification workflows that can scale with your organization as it grows, including how to:

- Gain a better understanding of the digital identity landscape,
- Ensure accuracy of both data sources and verification records,
- Centralize verification of multiple data sources into a unified platform,
- Evaluate new developments like biometrics, AI, and blockchain, and how they can impact identity and data management,
- Save money in the long-term by laying the groundwork for adaptable online verification workflows,
- Adapt and respond to new regulations.

The current state of vendor risk management (VRM) is bleak. More than half of all information security breaches are caused by third-party vendors, and according to Deloitte 83% of today’s business leaders lack confidence in third party VRM processes. Given the growing complexities in accurately collecting and screening third-party data and the need for deeper due diligence, automation is key to a successful risk program. However, many corporations haven’t adopted automation in their third-party risk management programs.

The lack of automation adoption can be traced to a few core reasons. Disparate systems, out-of-date data, and inconsistent policies can all stifle a company’s ability to modernize their third-party risk management program, and companies often suffer from more than one of these. When applied effectively, automation can not only help prevent these roadblocks; it can also drive the efficiencies procurement and compliance leaders are looking for. Join this CPE accredited panel webinar as our expert panel address some key steps to automating third-party risk management, including how to:

-Manage an up-to-date vendor master to create one source of truth across the entire corporation,
-Leverage automation and machine learning to standardize data governance,
-Drive efficiencies and reduces costs, while ensuring the highest accuracy in your third-party risk management program.

Today’s increasing organizational complexity and evolving threat environment have made it more critical than ever for organizations to clearly identify their exposures, measure vulnerability risk, and quickly prioritize remediation efforts. Cyberattacks are often hidden from view under a mountain of alerts generated by security systems, giving attackers time to gain access to systems and seize valuable data.

To ensure their companies don't end up in the headlines for the wrong reasons, corporate governance, risk management, compliance management and other “lines of defense” functions need to rethink their security strategy and take an approach that looks at behavior and attack patterns. By conecting cybersecurity attack analytics with risk programs and GRC work streams, executives can increase visibility into the overall security risk of the organization which makes the investigation of application security events easy, and enables teams to mitigate and respond to real security threats quickly and decisively.

Join this CPE panel webinar for insights on achieving smarter GRC with CAA. We will share:

- Why traditional endpoint security is failing to see and stop attacks.
- How using attack analytics can stop cyberattacks now and in the future.
- Efficient ways to analyze events and prevent threats.
- How to move from looking back to real-time and forward-looking GRC monitoring.

The days of securing a well-defined perimeter around your organization are gone. The cloud, mobile technologies, the internet of things (IoT) and diverse user groups freely exchange data across digital ecosystems, network and economies. This fluidity, however, means that organizations must secure access at multiple points throughout the organization, or risk letting in intruders seeking to hijack data.

To manage the increasingly diverse digital landscape, IT and security managers need to move beyond usernames and passwords, and expand their use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to help provide secure and convenient access to the critical data and systems users need. On this webinar our panel of experts will address how secure authentication can help enable GRC across the digital ecosystem, and they will share tips on:

- Securing access at all points across applications, devices, users and environments.
- Sharing insights across security systems to strengthen security.
- Collecting and analyzing information to stop attacks.
- How MFA can transform secure access—to any application, from any device, anywhere, at any time.
- Strengthening identity assurance with privileged users.

In today’s interconnected technology ecosystem, companies increasingly rely on third party vendors to meet their operational needs. However, the current state of vendor risk management (VRM) is bleak. More than half of all information security breaches are caused by third-party vendors, and according to Deloitte 83% of today’s business leaders lack confidence in third party VRM processes.

Understanding and managing cyber risk posed by vendors, suppliers, and third parties has proven to be a difficult task. The right mix of people, processes, and technology result in the most effective and comprehensive program. Join this CPE accredited panel webinar as our expert panel address some key steps to master VRM, including:

- Implementing a scalable VRM program from the ground up,
- Tips on managing vendor data and mapping the digital supply chain,
- Assessing third, fourth, and fifth-party risk,
- Performing quantifiable vendor security analyses,
- Establishing pre-procurement standards.

In an age where cybersecurity threats are an everyday fact of life, organizations are looking for solutions that enable them to predict, prepare and react to the shifting landscape of cyber threats, and implementation of adaptive cyber security strategies is becoming inevitable to achieve that goal.

Adaptive cyber security methods allow for the simultaneous defense of multiple attack surfaces against this new wave of advanced cyber attacks targeting businesses and services. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework enables organizations — regardless of size, degree of cybersecurity risk, or cybersecurity sophistication — to apply the principles and best practices of risk management to improving security. Attend this CPE webinar to gain insights on:

- Getting a clear picture of the current health of your organizations' defenses
- Defining your security road map using NIST CSF as a framework
- Conducting gap analysis and executing remediation actions
- Mapping the NIST CSF with security controls and built-in reporting templates that align with the framework.

Access control, a critical component of IT security compliance programs, ensures that organizations protect confidential information, like intellectual property and customer data. But your access management program can easily become outdated and static—especially if you rely on manual control testing and user access administration tasks.

By using robotics and process automation, or RPA, you can tackle some of the common challenges associated with access control programs. RPA works 24/7, reduces human error, and saves employees from manual, repetitive tasks. RPA might be the key to advancing your access control program.

Join this CPE webinar for insights into how you can reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve the effectiveness of your access control program with RPA. We will share:

- How to get started with an access control program.
- Ways to evaluate the right tools to automate processes at a task level, and align to your process automation strategy.
- Practical steps you can take to see value from advanced analytics in risk management, compliance, and continuous monitoring programs.
- How to embed governance, risk management, and controls into your enterprise’s mobilization and deployment of RPA, so you can catch issues before they arise.

Achieving and maintaining GDPR compliance is a complex and expensive initiative for companies of all sizes, across all geographies and industries, and tech giants have already been sued for violating the terms, while major newspapers have been forced to restrict EU access to their websites for fear of noncompliance.

In June 2018, Dimensional Research on behalf of TrustArc surveyed 600 legal, information technology and privacy professionals, and found that 20% of companies surveyed believe they now are GDPR compliant, while 53% are in the implementation phase and 27% have not yet started their implementation. Now three months after deadline, it's clear that there is a lot work yet to be done in order for all companies to achieve full GDPR compliance.

In this CPE accredited webinar, our panel of experts will discuss the main issues and attendees will learn:

- The latest techniques to protect data and remediate breaches.
- How GDPR can support your corporate values and drive business value for customers and partners.
- What your organization needs to uncover data risks and avoid fines.
- How technology can enable continuous monitoring, maintenance, and demonstration of GDPR compliance, in an ongoing and efficient manner.

Compliance is a fundamental pillar to effective risk management at any company. However, simply complying with laws and regulations without considering the broader threat landscape can result in disaster. Certainly, a balance between compliance and risk is necessary. Ensuring compliance represents an organization's starting point, not the endgame, should be a priority.

In a dynamic threat environment, forward-thinking organizations have concluded that the goal of total protection is elusive and that a risk-based approach to governance and management of cybersecurity is necessary. That is easier said than done, as the way most information security professionals measure risk today fails to quantify threats in terms the business can understand and use. In this CPE accredited webinar, our panel of experts will discuss:

- Aligning risk and compliance metrics and controls across functional domains.
- Benchmarking existing process for managing the risks identified by stakeholders.
- Creating a transparent 'system of record' and collaborative process life-cycle management system.
- Prioritizing control efforts accordingly.
- Aligning compliance investments with compliance risk ratings and business priorities.

Data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are complex, and can impact a broad range of business roles, including legal, audit, HR and finance, not just IT. In achieving GDPR compliance, organizations should focus on getting these roles to work together in ongoing efforts to ensure governance, risk and compliance (GRC) across an organization, and not be distracted by the noise in the marketplace. Through the process of integrating GRC practices real value can be achieved, as long as all stakeholders work with one another and take practical, measured steps toward integration. Join our panel of experts on this CPE accredited webinar to learn how your organization can achieve this.
