ISACA's
membership—more than 75,000 strong worldwide—is characterized
by its diversity. Members live and work in more than 160 countries and
cover a variety of professional IT-related positions. Some are in the
most senior ranks, others are at middle management levels and still
others are new to the field. They work in nearly all industry
categories, including financial and banking, public accounting,
government and the public sector, utilities and manufacturing.
But, as much as ISACA's
members are diverse, they share a common purpose—taking the lead
worldwide. The forward-thinking member leaders of ISACA have created IS
auditing and IS control standards adhered to by practitioners worldwide;
developed research pinpointing the professional issues challenging our
constituents; and produced the Certified Information Systems AuditorTM
(CISA®) certification, which is recognized globally and has been earned
by more than 60,000 professionals, and the Certified Information
Security ManagerTM
(CISM®) designation.
Here are some of the
