Today’s mobile device users are demanding to access data from anywhere at any time. In fact, according to an annual ISACA survey on BYOD security, the use of mobile applications has nearly tripled since last year’s survey, and two-thirds of employees aged 18 to 34 have a personal device they use for work purposes. Meanwhile, businesses are trying to reduce costs and simplify desktop management. Virtualized desktop infrastructure (VDI) allows users to access applications and data securely from remote locations with minimal risk of data loss, while simplifying desktop management within the traditional boundaries of the enterprise.

ISACA—a nonprofit global association of more than 95,000 IT governance professionals—recently released COBIT 5, a business framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT. To answer questions about the highly anticipated framework, ISACA is now offering two free webinars:  A COBIT 5 Overview and 5 Essential Facts About COBIT 5.

5 Essential Facts About COBIT 5 will be held Thursday, 10 May, at 11 a.m. CDT (16:00 UTC). Robert Stroud, CGEIT, member of ISACA’s Strategic Advisory Council and vice president of Innovation and Strategy at CA Technologies, will present an engaging, interactive discussion on the five COBIT 5 principles for governance and management of enterprise IT.
