An introduction to security frameworks – COBIT and ISO17799
PowerTech
It’s generally accepted that controls also need to be established over information technology. Most large audit firms have looked to COBIT, a generally applicable and accepted standard for good Information Technology (IT) security and control practices which is promoted by ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association). ISO 17799, an internationally recognized information security standard, has also found more widespread use in the United States in recent years. Many companies use the ISO standard alone to define their security policy, or they use it to provide more detailed guidance on the security specific issues outlined by COBIT. This session will examine these standards and regulations and provide a clear and concise introduction to these frameworks - this is a must-attend session for anyone facing compliance issues.
