You're watching ITProTV.
Greetings everyone and
welcome to the overview of our
COBIT 2019 series here that we
are going to have at ITProTV.
And I'll just start off with
introducing myself and then
we'll get to this fine young
gentleman right over here.
I'm your host for the series,
which will be my name is Daniel
Lowry. I've been in IT for
quite a few years now, well
over 20. I specialize in
cybersecurity. That's kind of
my shtick, but I also like to
dabble in these arts that my
main man over here also likes
to do. So hopefully I'll help
contribute to the conversation.
That said, Chris, why don't you
introduce yourself with the
good folks out there know who
you are. Yeah, absolutely.
He's dabbling in the dark arts.
I like to say my name is Chris
Ward. I am an agitator and one
of the other hosts around here
at ITProTV. My area of
expertise is project
management, IT service
management and oh, hey, what
we're going to be talking a
little bit about here and
that's IT governance and risk.
And so these are the areas that
I do a lot of training with.
Also have a little bit of a
technical background back in
the day. This Cisco, the
Microsoft, the whole CompTIA 9
yards and have been teaching
for over 23 years. And so enjoy
this aspect of being on ITProTV
because we get to talk about
cool stuff and I'm excited
about this course. All right.
Well, that sounds like fun.
Let's talk a little bit about
what's in it for these good
folks out there. Why do they
want to tune in? What are they
going to get out of this
course? Well, this is all about
enterprise governance and IT.
And the reason why this is
important is because a lot of
times people think that because
IT is tech and it changes so
rapidly that you just hey,
you go with the flow, whatever
the new hot sweetness is.
That's what we're going to be
doing. And oh, there's cool
stuff over here. Oh, there's
cool stuff over there. But in
reality, businesses can't pivot
at the speed of tech unless
they have good governance
guidelines, parameters,
policies that help direct them
to keep them on track with the
strategy and the goals of their
organization. And so what COBIT
2019 is, is this umbrella
framework that helps us get to
what they call EGI IT or Egypt.
It is enterprise governance in
IT. And that's what this
course, it's a foundation
certification course. That's
what it's all about. All right.
Well, it's definitely going
to be really interesting.
So we're glad you tuned in.
If you could give us some idea
of the course goals and the
structure of the series.
Yeah, definitely. The, you
know, basically kind of
breaking it down. We're going
to talk about COVID as an IT
governance framework. Like I
just mentioned, we're also
going to be talking about some
of the principles, basic
concepts of the difference
between a governance or
governance framework and a
governance system. We're going
to be talking about things like
design factors and focus areas.
We're going to talk about, get
this, tailoring your enterprise
governance for your particular
organization. Because a lot of
people think, is it a one size
fits all? You just tell people
not to do this and make sure
you do that. And that's how it
works. Hey, everybody's
different. You have different
industries, different
countries, different markets,
different
insert this, you know. And so
how do you do that? You utilize
COBIT 2019 and that's what
we're going to be looking at as
well with designing that
tailored governance system.
We're also going to talk about
implementing an enterprise
governance in IT, a nice high
level view and preparing you
for the COVID Foundation
Certificate exam. That brings
me to my next question. There
is a certification exam.
Yes, there is. That is attached
to this lovely little course.
Tell us if you could tell us
about the experience that we're
going to go through. Well, OK,
the exam, very simple.
questions. You get two hours.
This is done through ISACA.org,
which is the organization that
owns the intellectual property
of COBIT 2019. And you're going
to be able to sign up for that.
And it's the easy type of
questions. They're called the
easy button. You know, here's a
question for possible answers.
Pick the best answer. And you
only need a 65 percent to pass.
So it's a very liberal passing
score. And again, it's an entry
level. It's an introductory
type of approach. There are
better ones that are, I should
think, better, but greater
knowledge necessary for other
ones. But this is the one that
we just start off with. All
right. Well, last but not
least, tell us why you're
excited about this course.
Well, you know, I kind of
hinted at it. It's the fact
that a lot of people look at
governance and they say,
"OMG, this is going to be
boring as washing paint dry on
the wall." And it's not.
It actually helps you be more
efficient, effective. It helps
save money. It helps you're not
spinning your wheels doing
stuff. Instead, you can get
your job done in a way that is
more effective. And that's what
I love about enterprise
governance in IT. All right.
Well, Chris, we do thank you
for all that great information.
I know I'm excited about it as
well. Hopefully you are as
well. And we do look forward to
seeing you in the upcoming
series.
Thank you for watching
ITProTV.
