Roundtable descriptions:

(1) Here's the Technical Roundtable topic and summary:

Target and Attack Methods of Cybercriminals This workshop will include a list of the Top 10 IT risks for 2008 and will include an interactive scenario-based presentation that will demonstrate how cyber criminals identify weaknesses in security policies, technology and practices and then intrude into your organization. We will demonstrate a typical scenario for how a cyber-intruder compromises your preventive, detective and corrective controls. The discussion will demonstrate how these vulnerabilities are exploited and how the risks can be reduced. Some examples of demonstrations include; social engineering attacks, web site weaknesses, and internal system attacks.

(2) Leaders Roundtable:

IT Control Improvements: Fighting the ROI battle

It is not hard to get IT Executives to agree that increasing the control over IT processes can increase security, reliability and availability of the technical environments that support the business. The battle begins when they argue that the cost of implementing controls cannot be justified, and that the efficiency of the IT processes are decreased as control is increased. However, research performed by the IT Process Institute (ITPI), an independent organization formed by IT practitioners and academics to support IT audit, security, and operations professionals, can help to overcome these arguments.

Our speaker from Protiviti will address the following areas during the IT Audit Leaders Roundtable:
* Overview of the ITPI research
* Common challenges faced in getting over the hump of process optimization
* What sets the Top Performers apart from the pack
* Identify what controls make the most impact on increased performance
* How to assess your performance level and ROI of implementing improvements
