[kictanet] CBK lacks tech savvy team to survey local lenders

[Paul Roy]

Good discussion and good points.

Someone recently posted something on social media - "the moment you stop
learning after graduation, that's the beginning of being uneducated".
Learning is continuous and should never stop. As ISACA like other
professional bodies, we do put alot of emphasis on continuous education in
form of CPEs and peer to peer knowledge sharing which certified members
need to earn.

I totally agree that we do have certified IT auditors who have no idea of
various technologies available in the market today. They probably got
certified 10+ years ago and rely on the very same technologies that were
used then.

If you search this list, I recently posted a message putting such people on
notice. Actually we do purge them from our list of certified members. I
would ask the industry to support us by crosschecking with relevant
professional bodies on someone's professional standing.

Last - As long as I am a the helm of ISACA Kenya, I would like to open up
our doors to the various experts within the industry who are willing to
retrain IT auditors, IT Security professionals to consider ISACA as an
ally. Let us work together, talk to me, come for one of the evening talks
and let us grow and strengthen the profession.

I believe in partnerships and welcome anyone/organization with skills to
come forward and help retrain these professionals.

regards,
Paul Roy.
