London, UK: ISACA—a non-profit global association of more than 95,000 IT governance professionals—recently released COBIT 5, a business framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT. To answer questions about the highly anticipated framework, ISACA is now offering two free webinars: A COBIT 5 Overview and 5 Essential Facts About COBIT 5.
5 Essential Facts About COBIT 5 will be held today at 11 a.m. CDT (16:00 UTC). Robert Stroud, CGEIT, member of ISACA’s Strategic Advisory Council and vice president of Innovation and Strategy at CA Technologies, will present an engaging, interactive discussion on the five COBIT 5 principles for governance and management of enterprise IT.
“In the first week since its release, COBIT 5 guides have been downloaded more than 45,000 times. The interest has been tremendous, as users of previous versions are eager to migrate to the new framework and business leaders are recognizing IT’s critical role in managing and governing enterprise information,” said Vander Wal. “These webinars will provide insights to both IT and business professionals on how COBIT 5 can benefit their organizations and all of the improvements and updates that have been made to this global guidance.”
COBIT 5 promotes seamless continuity between an enterprise’s IT department and its overall information and technology assets. The framework can be tailored for an enterprise’s specific business model, technology environment, industry, location and corporate culture. This update is the result of a four-year initiative led by a global task force and was reviewed by more than 95 experts worldwide prior to its release.
