ISACA’s CACS in Dubai to Feature Global Security, Governance Experts



Dubai, UAE (29 December 2010)—Senior business and technology leaders will convene at InterContinental Dubai Festival City from 21-22 February 2011 for CACS (Computer Audit, Control and Security)  in Dubai, an internationally respected event that features governance, security, assurance and risk management experts from around the world.

The event is hosted by ISACA, a global information technology (IT) association of 95,000 IT professionals. ISACA chose Dubai as the location for the conference because it is an important city in the global economy as well as the region's crossroads, serving as a center of business and technology.

CACS in Dubai will include a keynote presentation by Neeraj Kumar, Senior Vice President of Internal Audit and Chief Audit Executive of Emirates Group. Neeraj Kumar will explain how to use technology to improve proactive risk-focused auditing and continuous monitoring.

CACS in Dubai will also offer educational sessions on key IT security and governance issues facing enterprises today and include case studies by Dubai Aluminium and Dubai Customs.
Additional topics that will be presented include The Threats and Challenges of E-government Security; The Future of Information; and Designing Security for Cloud Computing Environments.
