This seminar, designed specifically for government and private-sector IT Auditors, will provide the tools and techniques needed to effectively understand and audit modern distributed and web-based applications. The control techniques that are used to address risk in distributed and web-based systems are substantially different from the traditional techniques used in legacy mainframe environments.
Unlike many generic Application Auditing seminars, this seminar will focus specifically on distributed system control techniques and the unique risks of the supporting technologies. This seminar addresses infrastructure controls (network security, electronic communications, etc.) as well as application and middleware controls (transactional integrity, application recoverability, etc.) that protect the reliability and integrity of critical data. Every module of this seminar will outline “best practice” control techniques and include suggested audit procedures. The seminar incorporates standard auditing control objectives such as GAO’s FISCAM, ISACA’s COBIT, and ISACF’s Objectives for NetCentric Technology. The lectures and seminar materials will complement these established guidelines by providing practical steps for performing effective audits of modern network-based and web applications.
