THE VITAL COMPLIANCE CHALLENGE
"COMPUTER ASSISTED VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT & REMEDIATION"

Today’s security practitioners and auditors are faced with an increasing number of IT compliance challenges. ISACA, CAATSAUP and SUP are brining together industry experts for a halfday seminar on the technological and legal challenges companies and auditors face - as well as the available solutions. IT security and control policies require discovering and fixing such OS and application vulnerabilities as inappropriate configurations, backdoors, unnecessary services and unsecured accounts, as well as software defects to be patched. Vulnerability assessment software can expedite discovery; new automated remediation tools and wellstructured management can reduce costs and assure their cost-effective application.

 
Learn how to reduce the costs of addressing the legal requirements of such legislation as:
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)
- Sarbanes-Oxley Act
- California Disclosure 1386
- The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace

In addition:
- Understand the consequences if these requirements are not properly addressed.
- Understand risk assessments, audit approaches, common violations cited by regulators.
- See what solutions can cost-effectively identify, assess and remediate software vulnerabilities.
- Participate in an interactive panel discussion with compliance and IT security software specialists
