The annual ISACA South Africa Chapter conference was held at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg on the 3rd and 4th of August 2015. The event's theme was "More Insights. More Value", and was modelled around the topical issue of Cyber Security. About 400 delegates attended the opening of the event by the ISACA South Africa Chapter President, Kenneth Chikwanha.
International and local industry leaders shared valuable information and enlightened the audience with their insights on current trends and developments.
The programme featured a variety of sessions including three panel discussions, during which local and international guest speakers educated delegates from a Chief Audit Executive (CAE's), Chief Information Officers (CIO's) and COBIT perspective.
