Evaluating Cyber-Threats

The average cost of a data breach has grown 29% to $4 million over the last three years, according to a 2016 survey by the Ponemon Institute. External audits can help identify IT risks. But an auditor’s responsibilities don’t include an evaluation of cybersecurity risks across a company’s entire IT platform. Instead, his or her primary focus is on controls and systems in closest proximity to data that’s relevant to the audit. Companies need to understand the scope of the external auditor’s responsibilities and develop a cybersecurity program that bridges the gaps.
