Training Description

This self-paced technical training course is intended to provide information on IT Governance and COBIT 4.1, the core definitions, and address key considerations as to how IT can become more effective. The self-paced modules are designed to take you on a step-by-step journey on what these topics are about and ultimately provide you with ideas as to how to implement effectively.

For many enterprises, information and the technology it supports are often representative of their most valuable, but often least understood, assets. The need for assurance about the value of IT, the management of IT-related risks and increased control requirements are now understood as key elements of enterprise governance. Value, Risk and Control constitute the core of IT Governance.

Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT®) provides a set of good practices across a domain and process framework and presents activities in a manageable and logical structure.

The COBIT control framework contributes to managing value, risk and control by:

• Making a link to the business requirements
• Organizing IT activities into a generally accepted process model
• Identifying the major IT resources to be leveraged
• Defining the management control objectives to be considered

Prerequisites
