Latest BarnOwl Insight

Fraud describes any dishonest or criminal deception or misrepresentation designed for an individual’s own advantage or to cause loss to another. The words scam and con are perceived as less harmful and are often thought of as trickery or lying when in reality, they are versions of fraud and should be treated as such.

Info Sharing Insight

Thank you very much Tracey for your most informative presentation on ‘building resilience into your business before a crisis hits’ at the BarnOwl info-sharing event held on 24 November 2022. Thank you too, to all those who attended the session.

 

As we know, the world at the moment is in quite a state of upheaval and especially in South Africa with an increase in load shedding, the threat of social unrest, infrastructure degradation affecting transport, ports water and sanitation, telecoms and so the list goes on; not to mention the omnipresent threat of cyber-attacks. There is a term in the risk management space called VUCA which stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity.

Upcoming Event

This information sharing session will provide some real-world perspective on how attackers think, how they work, and what new types of trends we can expect. It will also provide insight as to how you can proactively and pre-emptively guard against these attacks to avoid becoming the low-hanging fruit at most risk. The discussion will include biometric security and intelligence, passwords, surveillance implants, physical payload delivery (social engineering), and physical access controls. 

 

With Timothy Gilman and Michael Davies

BarnOwl Tip of the Month 

Did you know?

BarnOwl is a fully integrated risk, compliance and audit software solution supporting true risk and control based auditing enabling risks and controls to be ‘pulled through’ automatically from risk management into audit where they can be audited independently.

The audit results are then ‘aligned’ back to risk management on acceptance by management of the audit’s ratings (risks and control) and findings. Audit objectives simplify audit execution by grouping risks and controls into manageable work items.
