Pursuing continuing education to stay up to date and distinguished from professional peers is critical in tough economic times. To help IT audit, security and governance professionals learn new strategies and solutions, ISACA will host Training Week in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, 6-10 April 2009, at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel.
ISACA, a nonprofit association of more than 86,000 IT governance professionals in 160 countries, will offer three in-depth courses at the Nashville Training Week:
* Fundamentals of IT Assurance and Audit—Revised for 2009, this course is aligned with the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) job practice areas, and will discuss controls and control objectives tailored to the evolving role of IT auditors, including an understanding of organizational risks and how to mitigate them.
* IT Assurance and Audit Practices—Also revised and aligned with the CISA job practice areas, this course teaches participants how to develop a risk assessment process and audit program.
* Information Security Management—This course aligns with the five Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) job practice areas and provides IT security managers the expertise needed to reduce risk and to protect the enterprise.
“ISACA Training Week provides information security managers, IT auditors and IT governance professionals with the expertise they need to reduce risk, protect their enterprise and develop strategies for IT governance in this challenging economic climate,” said Lynn Lawton, CISA, FBCS, CITP, FCA, FIIA, international president of ISACA. “It also offers a solid foundation and is another tool for those preparing for the CISA, CISM and CGEIT examinations, which are globally respected by employers worldwide.”
