Internal Audits That Create Stakeholder Value Adopting an Agile Mindset

Agile Scrum is a lightweight framework that promises to significantly improve internal audits by creating a mindset that generates stakeholder value through adaptive solutions for complex auditing problems. This mindset is needed as organizations face unprecedented changes and pressures in today's business landscape. Internal audits must keep leaders informed and aware of potential risks.

Such a mindset addresses some of the often-experienced auditing challenges such as a lack of senior management support, insufficient audit preparation time, difficult auditees and lack of time needed to write audit results.

Featuring special guest Thomas Bell and hosted by ISACA's Robin Lyons.

Strategies for Avoiding Burnout

Chronic workplace stress can lead to burnout, which poses a significant risk to the mental health of busy professionals, such as auditors. But how can these professionals protect themselves from burnout? And how can their employers help them do so? If you are interested in learning the answers to these questions, then watch as ISACA’s Robin Lyons and Dr. Elena Klevsky, Assistant Professor of Accounting at the University of Tampa, discuss strategies for avoiding burnout.

Inspired by the Sustainable Model of Human Energy proposed by Ryan Quinn, Gretchen Spreitzer and Chak Fu Lam, these strategies focus on managing your personal energy by increasing resources, decreasing job demands, practicing skills and tasks, and monitoring energy.

Properly implementing these strategies has the potential to help busy professionals ensure that they have sufficient resources to meet their job demands, and, therefore, increase the likelihood that they feel energized instead of exhausted.

The Danger of Distraction in Augmented Reality

While users of technology are becoming more educated in how to avoid cyberattacks such as phishing, a distracted user might be more prone to missing signs of social engineering. This project explored whether users immersed in augmented reality applications were more inclined to fall for an on-screen text message that prompted familiarity (such as a friend calling in) or urgency (such as a warning to update software or be subject to an automatic device re-boot within a certain timeframe).

Featuring special guest Sarah Katz and hosted by ISACA's Collin Beder.

Managing Human Risk Requires More Than Just Awareness Training

A comprehensive information security awareness program must be in place to ensure that employees are aware of and educated about the threats they may encounter at the workplace. The workforce needs to be prepared to know how to respond to these threats. It all starts with a risk assessment to identity the most critical of risks that need to be mitigated through preparedness. Making security a part of the organization’s culture reduces these risks to an acceptable level.

Featuring special guest Chris Madeksho and hosted by ISACA's Lisa Cook.
