Learning Objective

  • To identify phishing, vishing, & smishing frauds.
  • To identify common cyber fraud schemes.
  • To recognize how to develop internal controls to prevent phishing, vishing, & smishing frauds.

Course Overview

Cybercriminals evolve with time. They keep coming up with innovative techniques to penetrate networks and execute the intended fraud. Accordingly, phishing, vishing, and smishing have evolved as three prominent cybersecurity threats.

Bad actors are continuously in pursuit of networks and users through emails (phishing), vishing (voice and phishing), and smishing (cell phone messages). A single successful attack can lead to a widespread impact. And also, on the other hand, since the use of mobile phones and computers has become integral to almost every work routine, employers must take the required steps to increase cybersecurity awareness among their employees.

As well developed as the internal controls over our IT systems it is often the human element that allows criminals to commit online frauds against our businesses. This CPE course is designed to show how criminals use employees to commit data breaches or to place malware on an organization’s computers. Real-world examples will be presented to the audience.

In this CPE Information Technology webinar we will discuss awareness training and internal controls to help prevent these types of fraud by focusing on the following major topics:

  • Organizational Frauds
  • Phishing, Vishing & Smishing
  • Cyber Fraud Issues, Internal Controls for Cyber Fraud Prevention & Detection

Kathryn Astbury, CPA (US)

A well planned seminar about what those nasty fraudsters are up to! Everyone will be attacked at some point. My 89 year old mother had her wallet stolen from the emergency room at St Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis. She had arrived by ambulance and was unconscious. The hospital could have cared less about the theft. Less than one week later, credit card application inquiries were arriving in her mailbox. Even with my best efforts two cards were issued. You have to deal with it on your own and it is time consuming.
