Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT)

The Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT) is a set of best practices (framework) for information technology (IT) management created by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), and the IT Governance Institute (ITGI).

The new COBIT 5 defines five Governance processes and four Management domains. Within each process, Evaluate, Direct and Monitor (EDM) practices are defined with the responsibility areas of Plan, Build, Run and Monitor (PBRM).

COBIT has evolved from an IT Audit and Control framework into an IT Management framework and now into an IT Governance framework. COBIT 5 is the only business framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT.

The COBIT 5 framework builds and expands on COBIT 4.1 by integrating other major frameworks, standards and resources, including Val IT, Risk IT, ITIL and related standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

COBIT provides managers, auditors, and IT users with a set of generally accepted measures, indicators, processes and best practices to assist them in maximizing the benefits derived through the use of information technology and developing appropriate IT governance and control in a company.

COBIT has 34 high level processes that cover 210 control objectives categorized in four domains: Planning and Organization, Acquisition and Implementation, Delivery and Support, and Monitoring. This workshop will help participants prepare for the COBIT Foundation certification exam from ISACA.
