Combating Computer Fraud

Any fraud committed with the aid of, or directly involving a computer or network is considered computer fraud.  In this two-day seminar you will examine the key risks surrounding computer-based fraud and explore the “who, what, and how” of this pervasive crime.  You will investigate specific IT controls that must be in place to reduce the risk of computer fraud, including logical access controls, reduced privileged access, application change management, network controls, encryption, and application system controls, and benefit from real-life examples of their effectiveness.  You will review a range of fraud studies with control recommendations from sources that include the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, CERT, the FBI, and the Secret Service. You will cover a number of regulations that address computer fraud, including S-OX, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the USA Patriot Act, and a variety of privacy laws.  You will leave this high-impact seminar with a game plan for reducing computer fraud risks in your organization.  (NOTE: IT knowledge is not required.)
