IT in flux - a great challenge for the internal auditing

The technological enhancements allow nowadays applications which were not imaginable until quite
recently. The upgrade of mobile phones to actual micro computers and their cross-linking with the
company's internal IT systems as well as the consistent purchasing of IT-related services from
external suppliers lead to an outsourcing of e.g. the security measures and other checks to third
parties - the real risks, however, are left to the company.
Is your auditing prepared for these challenges? Are you in a position, either on your own or
together with specialised enterprises, to check the technology-specific risks (e.g. mobile
computing, virtualisation, cloud computing, social networking, etc.) sufficiently? What is
reasonable, feasible or mandatory for auditors of small and medium-sized companies?
In the frame of the 4th common symposium of ISACA and SVIR with "Live hacking" - demonstration
and other insights in current technologies, you can learn from practice for your own practice
concrete approaches and recommendations for the implementation.
• What is virtualisation? Why is it important for the auditor? Where are the most important
risks and which concrete steps can enable an (IT)-auditor to recognise and estimate these risks?
• Where are the differences between the "classic" outsourcing and cloud-computing? What can
an auditor of small and medium-sized companies actually check beyond the provider management and
how shall he proceed?
• Where are the risks of new technologies, in particular in connection with mobile services?
What does a diagnostic program related to this look like and how realistic is its implementation?
• How can you check social networking? What are its typical risks and what checking
approaches are suitable for an efficient and effective procedure?
Marco Di Filippo of Compass Security will vividly demonstrate the vulnerability of
mobile technologies in his live hacking demonstration.
