Welcome to all Members of the NOLA IT Community,
I hope everyone enjoyed the last meeting (June 12) on Cryptography and Encryption, it was a good turnout. Thanks to all that came and especially to MMS, UNO, Tulane, Whitney Bank and KPMG for such support! Please encourage co-workers to come to meetings. Chris Davis gave a very thorough overview of Cryptography especially relevant for those studying for the CISSP exam. If there are other topics you want to hear about, let me know.
Registration for the December CISA, CISM and CGEIT exams will be open in mid-September. ISACA will be offering a CISA online review course. If you register for the course, using the code ISACA061 shows your support for our chapter, and the code will allow you an additional 30 days access to the course! If you are interested in a chapter led CISA or CISM review course please email vice-president@isaca-nola.org .
Our next meeting will be on IT Risk Management, given by partner in Deloitte and Touche, Raj Mehta. If you’re a manager, tell your staff to come so they can get an understanding of the bigger picture; if you’re staff, tell your managers to come because they won’t get more authoritative or current information on current IT Risk Management issues than from Deloitte!
