Cyber security focus at IP in Action Quito

Quito, Ecuador

Ing. Lenin Espinoza

At IP in Action in Ecuador later this month, Ing. Lenin Espinoza will be a key speaker covering the topical subject of "The Impact of Internal Fraud in Information Security".
The business processes of organisations depend increasingly on the different information technology tools both hardware and software. But the "dark side of the world", the cyber criminals have discovered weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the application of these technologies, the ability to penetrate the organizations servers using different methods and techniques and extract information for financial gain.

Information security emerged in response to the risks arising from the use of these technologies. But the problem is that, in all cases, countermeasures used by information security, almost without exception point to cyber criminals who are outside the organisation trying to penetrate. Therefore, there is a great new challenge for information security - we face another enemy invisible and more difficult to identify, that of internal fraud. The presentation will focus on the new challenge of how to increase the security of information.

Lenin Espinoza is Master in Information Systems and is professor at several respected institutions dedicated to training in information technologies. He has over 20 years experience in audit, risk, assurance and management of Information Technology, in major national and multinational companies in the banking, manufacturing, trade and services. He currently provides professional Internal Audit Systems at Banco Pichincha, Banco General Rumiñahui, Banco Finca, Banco de Loja and other major banks and credit unions in Ecuador.
