CPE opportunities

It's been a while since I posted on this blog and I apologize for that. I have a couple of CPE opportunies to list here. I found these out when I started studying for my CISA certification. The first one you can check is the ISACA's (Information Systems Audit and Control Association) online conferences. This is similar to what I posted earlier with ISC2. Visit this link for more details -> http://isaca.brighttalk.com/

If you are a member of ISACA and you are receiving their magazine Information Systems Control Journal, you can get 1 CPE credit by answering questions on http://www.isaca.org/cpequiz/. You must get a passing score or 75 percent or higher to get the CPE credit.
