Welcome to the September 2014 Newsletter.

The global business and IT landscape has changed greatly over the last year, with a growing number of cybersecurity incidents and large-scale data breaches. According to nearly 80% of respondents to a new COBIT user survey, having effective IT governance in place has become more valuable than ever.

To simplify IT governance and help companies manage their valuable data, global IT association ISACA has now launched an online version of its COBIT 5 framework. COBIT online has been designed to make it easy to navigate to the specific portions of COBIT that an enterprise needs, and also offers new goals and RACI Planner tools that allow companies to readily customise COBIT for their needs.

According to COBIT users, the top five benefits their enterprise achieved by implementing COBIT 5 are:

• Integrated business and IT
• Improved risk management
• Identified gaps
• Improved visibility with board of directors
• Improved communication among siloed teams.

This is a timely release and, if it delivers against its promises, could help to keep data breaches at bay for those who embrace it.
