COBIT® 2019 for Cybersecurity & GRC
Integrating IT Governance, Cyber Risk, and Compliance for a Resilient Digital Enterprise
Why Choose COBIT® 2019 for Cybersecurity & GRC Training Course?
Cybersecurity threats, regulatory pressure, and digital dependency have transformed technology risk into a board-level governance issue. Organizations are no longer challenged only by cyber attacks, but by fragmented controls, unclear accountability, overlapping frameworks, and weak alignment between cybersecurity initiatives and business objectives. As a result, many cybersecurity and compliance efforts fail to deliver measurable value or sustained risk reduction.
The COBIT 2019 for Cybersecurity & GRC training course focuses on the practical application of COBIT to design, assess, and strengthen cybersecurity governance, cyber risk management, and compliance oversight. Participants will learn how to use COBIT governance and management objectives to structure cybersecurity programs, integrate multiple standards (ISO 27001, NIST CSF, ITIL), and establish clear accountability across the organization.
This course bridges the gap between technical cybersecurity controls and executive governance, enabling participants to translate cyber risks into business language, improve oversight, and build a resilient, well-governed cybersecurity and GRC capability.
