The event is organized by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), a global provider of knowledge, certifications, community, advocacy and education on information systems assurance and security, enterprise governance and management of IT, IT-related risks and compliance. The three-day event will focus on various emerging topics in information security and risk management with the spotlight being on compliance, security and risk management for cloud computing and virtualized applications.
As businesses become more reliant on IT, they are forced to deal with a wide array of risks including hacking, cybercrime and cyber-espionage.
