What You Will Learn
Performing IT security audits at the enterprise level can be a daunting task. How should you determine which systems to audit first? How do you assess the risk to the organization related to information systems and business processes? What settings should you check on the various systems under scrutiny? Is there a set of processes that can be put into place to allow an auditor to focus on the business processes rather than the security settings? How do you turn this into a continuous monitoring process? The material covered in this course will answer all of these questions and more.
AUD507 teaches students how to apply risk-based decision making to the task of auditing enterprise security.
This track is organized specifically to provide a risk-driven method for tackling the enormous task of designing an enterprise security validation program. After covering a variety of high-level audit issues and general audit best practices, students will have the opportunity to delve into the technical “how-to” for determining the key controls that can be used to provide a high level of assurance to an organization. Real-world examples provide students with tips on how to verify these controls in a repeatable way, as well as many techniques for continuous monitoring and automatic compliance validation. These same real-world examples help the students learn how to be most effective in communicating risk to management and operations staff.
AUD507 allows students to practice new skills in realistic, hands-on labs.
In this course, students learn how to use technical tests to develop the evidence needed to support their findings and recommendations. Each day affords students opportunities to use the tools and techniques discussed in class, with labs designed to simulate real-world enterprise auditing challenges and to allow the students to use appropriate tools and techniques to solve these problems.
We also go beyond simply discussing the tools students could use; we give them the experience to use the tools and techniques effectively to measure and report on the risk in their organizations. The final section of the course is a lab that lets students challenge themselves by solving realistic audit problems using and refining what they have learned in class.
The skills students learn in AUD507 can be used immediately after class.
Students will leave the course with the know-how to perform effective tests of enterprise security in a variety of areas. The combination of high-quality course content, provided audit checklists, in-depth discussion of common audit challenges and solutions, and ample opportunities to hone their skills in the lab provides a unique setting for students to learn how to be an effective enterprise auditor.
“AUD507 has obvious practical applications, and it’s great to see some of the most infamous hacking methods explained and executed in real time. In the labs, I’m getting hands-on experience with the tools. The opportunity to learn how to interpret the results taught me more in one afternoon than I’ve picked up here-and-there over an entire career.” – Tyler Messa, AWS
