The days of a cybersecurity breach being only “an IT issue” are over. During his years as an internal audit leader, Grant Ostler, Executive Advisor of Pro Groups, survived two cybersecurity incidents. And while he can confidently say it is never fun, it’s much more painful to go through one without a dry run first.

Pro Groups, the community for accounting & finance, sustainability, and audit & risk professionals, invited a few members from the Las Vegas chapter to run through a simulated cybersecurity incident to share how they would respond. 

Historically, auditors, controllers, and sustainability professionals haven’t been involved in cybersecurity scenario planning. What we discovered in the Pro Group exercise is that while we don’t want to get in the way, there is indeed a meaningful role for us.
