The minutes of the May 31 Audit Committee meeting were approved. Next, Internal Audit made two I.T.- related presentations. Both presentations were related to network systems security. The first presentation was for an audit engagement that involved the performance of attack and penetration testing of all District-managed network systems, which include internal networks and external websites. All systems facing the internet were included in the engagement scope. The attacks were designed to simulate the techniques of real- world cyber attackers. The engagement received two separate opinions: Satisfactory for the External Penetration testing and Satisfactory for the Internal Penetration Testing. The report contained two (2) Opportunities for Improvement, which were presented to and discussed with the Committee. The second presentation was for a social engineering exercise involving a phishing testing campaign performed by Internal Audit. The campaign targeted the email addresses of all 961 District employees. Real-world spoofing tactics were used to test the employees’ behavior when subjected to phishing attacks. The results of the testing were presented and discussed with the Committee. The overall results were favorable. However, there were a limited number of employees who did not respond well to the test or bait emails. These employees will receive additional training. This type of exercise will be performed annually to assist with overall awareness and education regarding the area.
