COBIT
COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies) is a comprehensive framework for governance and management of enterprise IT, developed by ISACA. It provides a set of best practices, processes, and control objectives to help organizations align IT with business goals, manage risks, and ensure regulatory compliance. The framework is widely used for auditing, security, and IT governance across various industries.
Developers should learn COBIT when working in regulated environments (e.g., finance, healthcare) or large enterprises where IT governance, risk management, and compliance are critical. It helps in understanding how to structure IT processes to meet business objectives, improve security, and pass audits, making it valuable for roles involving system architecture, DevOps, or IT management.
