Dear ISACA Auckland Chapter Members,
The ISACA Auckland Chapter is pleased to announce our next lunchtime virtual event, to be held on the lunchtime of the 14th Jan 2025.
Topic:
Welcome to the Trenches of Cybersecurity Operations
Congratulations, welcome aboard, now get ready to gear up! Others may believe cyber incidents will “just sort themselves out”, we know the dark, ugly truth of business on the Internet! In a world where AI-powered bots, shadowy adversaries, and unpatched systems are ever present, we tend to be the thin line between order and chaos.
As a cybersecurity professional, we are often responsible for being a detective, firefighter, and janitor— normally, all at once too! Whether we’re identifying anomalies or deciphering the latest adversarial TTP’s, we need to ensure we have skills and capabilities. Now with ISACA’s new Certified Cybersecurity Operations Analyst™ (CCOA™) we will not only know why the house is on fire but also how to put it out (and hopefully prevent the next inferno).
ISACA's new Certified Cybersecurity Operations Analyst (#CCOA) credential. Learn more (and complete our online form - we'll let you know when you can begin preparing for this exciting new certification): https://bit.ly/4gezbD6
