ISACA – COBIT 2019 Foundation Certification Boot Camp

The COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) certification is ideal for individuals who are involved in the management, governance, and/or assessment of information technology in an enterprise. This includes but is not limited to IT professionals, business managers, internal auditors, and consultants. The certification is relevant for those who want to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in IT governance and management.

• How to align IT goals with strategic business objectives using tools designed to give governance a wider perspective, and practitioners more flexibility.
• The value derived from IT, necessary resources, and potential risks in the process of building a mature relationship between the business and IT.
• The different types of IT governance frameworks such as ITIL, NIST etc., including the benefits of each and how they work.

COBIT and ITIL are two distinct frameworks for information technology (IT) management and governance. The key differences between the two are:

COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and related Technology) focuses on the governance and management of enterprise IT, and provides a comprehensive framework for the evaluation, management, and governance of information and technology.

ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), on the other hand, is a set of best practices for IT service management, providing guidance on the delivery and support of IT services to meet the needs of an organization. ITIL focuses on the alignment of IT services with business needs, and includes specific processes for incident management, problem management, change management, and other aspects of IT service delivery.

In summary, COBIT provides a broader, enterprise-level view of IT governance and management, while ITIL focuses specifically on the delivery and support of IT services.
