IIA NZ Topic: Speak Up

Presenter: Felicity Caird

New Zealand is held in high regard for the standards of honesty, openness, transparency and integrity but our reputation depends upon our ability to build and maintain a culture that promotes speaking up about wrongdoing. Felicity Caird, who leads the Governance Leadership Centre for the Institute of Directors, will discuss whistleblowing and Speak Up arrangements, and the board's role in ensuring ethical conduct in the organisations they govern.

Felicity who leads the IoD's Governance Leadership Centre, keeps members up to date on key governance developments, current best practice, and issues affecting directors and their roles. Felicity has a public sector background and has worked at the Office of the Auditor-General where she reported to Parliament on the performance of public entities, and at the State Services Commission on governance in the wider state sector.

ISACA Topic: Cloud Security Risk Management

Presenters: Adam Derry and Ian Donovan

The cloud has rapidly evolved, changing how organisations operate and interact with data. This has presented a new set of risks for IT professionals to identify, fix and validate. How do we identify and certify hundreds of cloud applications? How can we identify mis-configured applications or publicly exposed data? Our presentation today will look at some case examples where data has been exposed and how implementing technology and people into the mix, could have been prevented.
