LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Hello, Western NY IIA Members! The Chapter ended Q3 2016 with a fantastic half-day event on September 28th at Tewksbury Lodge surrounding Corporate Culture. It was truly a pleasure seeing everyone that attended and catching up with folks at the post-event networking hour! Our Board of Governors is looking very much forward to the upcoming events in Q4, starting with a free, two-hour, members-only webinar on Auditing the CIS Critical Security Controls, which will be presented by Philippe Langlois, Controls Technical Program Manager for the Center for Internet Security. A huge thank you to our partners in the ISACA WNY & Rochester IIA Chapters for helping us make this highly valuable and relevant training available to our members at no cost! Registration for this event is now open to all members of the ISACA and IIA in WNY and Rochester, and is limited to the first 100 registrants, so make sure to see page 2 for instructions on how to secure your spot! Our Newsletter Co-Chairs have also included some preliminary details about the event we have planned for November, and information on the 2016 IT Hacking Conference hosted by the IIA and ISACA Chicago Chapters. We are so happy to recognize Chuck Cino of M&T Bank as our Member Spotlight for October! The IIA WNY Board has selected Chuck to show our appreciation for his frequent and active support of the Chapter’s events over the last 6 years. Not to mention, Chuck’s a pretty cool guy. I have had the pleasure of working on many audits and projects with Chuck over the last 4 years and this recognition is well-deserved. Please join me in congratulating Chuck Cino this month! Our Board would also like to recognize two UB students, Kelsey Messer and Matthew Stollerman, for their achievements this year. Kelsey was the recipient of the 2014 WNY IIA Scholarship, so we are especially proud of her for scoring the highest grade on the CIA exam out of 55,811 candidates! Matthew Stollerman is the third-place winner of the IIA Research Foundation’s Esther R. Sawyer Research Award this year, an award established in 2000 as a tribute to Esther R. Sawyer, an active advocate for the Internal Audit profession. On behalf of the WNY IIA Board of Governors, great job Kelsey and Matthew and congratulations to you both! I am looking forward to catching up with everyone at our events over the next couple months. As always, if you have any questions about anything IIA related, please feel comfortable contacting me or any of our Governors to ask! Thank you, Ashley Kinnear, CFE, CISA

Auditing the CIS
Critical Security Controls
Philippe Langlois is currently a Technical Product Manager for
the CIS Critical Security Controls. In this role he leads an international community of cyber security experts who develop
best practices known as the CIS Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense, a set of actions proven to mitigate 85%
of the most prevalent cyber threats. He manages the production, writing, and publication of a range of cyber security resources. Philippe holds a Masters of Infrastructure Protection
and International Security, a BA in Criminology and certifications as a Global Industrial Cyber Security Professional
(GICSP), GIAC Penetration Tester (GPEN) and GIAC Critical Security Controls Certification (GCCC).
The Center for Internet Security’s Critical Security Controls are a
relatively small number of prioritized, well-vetted, and supported security actions that organizations can take to assess
and improve their current security state. The CIS Controls embrace the Pareto 80/20 Principle, the idea that taking just a small portion of all the security actions you could possibly take, yields a very large percentage of the benefit of taking all those
possible actions.

Center for Internet Security
