Episode Synopsis
Cash in the Cyber Sheets - Episode 22: "Audit, Logging, and Monitoring: The Overlooked Essentials" In this episode of Cash in the Cyber Sheets, we continue our deep dive into the "Dirty 13" – the top audit findings that consistently surface during financial firm audits. This week, we take a closer look at one of the most overlooked and critical areas: audit, logging, and monitoring. Despite being fundamental to sound security and compliance practices, many financial firms fail to establish adequate audit mechanisms, leaving them vulnerable to significant regulatory risks and security threats. We’ll unpack why insufficient logging, improper monitoring, and poorly executed audits not only leave gaps in compliance but also open the door to substantial financial and reputational risks. Join us as we explore real-world examples of firms who’ve fallen short in these areas and discuss actionable steps that companies can take to improve their auditing practices, safeguard sensitive information, and meet regulatory expectations. Don’t miss this essential conversation if you’re in the financial services industry and want to avoid being blindsided by the risks of poor audit practices!
