Panels dedicated to discussing the technologies that have changed how we work and live – and what the future may bring – as well as exploring the professions that have comprised the ISACA community over the last five decades, will help ISACA celebrate its 50th anniversary year at ISACA’s North America 2019 CACS Conference.
A general session panel, “From Disruptive to Daily Dependence: ISACA Pros Look Back and Look Forward to the Future in Technology,” will be moderated by Thomas Phelps IV, VP of corporate strategy and CIO of Laserfiche, and past president of the ISACA Los Angeles Chapter. He is also on the executive boards of [email protected] and the Southern California Chapter of the Society for Information Management.
“Over the last 50 years, ISACA professionals have had to become adept at digital dexterity—and quickly learn, implement and support new technologies in the business enterprise,” Phelps said. “Whether it’s building IT governance and audit programs or assessing risks with new technologies, we have often spearheaded ways for organizations to embrace innovation. We are continuously helping to ‘future-proof’ today’s businesses by mastering disruptive technologies that create new business models and drive growth in a digital economy.”
The panelists for “From Disruptive to Daily Dependence: ISACA Pros Look Back and Look Forward to the Future in Technology” have diverse experiences in leading enterprises as emerging technologies are adopted:

Additionally, a session panel called “A Spectrum of Professions: The ISACA Global Community, Past, Present, Future” will be moderated by Marios Damianides, Partner, Northeast Region Cybersecurity Leader, Ernst & Young, and Past Board Chair of ISACA. He will pose questions related to the beginning years of the electronic data processing audit profession, as well as what controls and security measures have been used over the last 50 years. The panelists will also look to the future, making predictions for what the future of business IT will look like for professionals: the challenges of continually transforming technologies and what professionals must do to be successful in these changing times.
