CISA: Certified Information Systems Auditor Study Guide

Building on the proven approach of other Sybex Study Guides, this updated book of more than 700 comprehensive pages complies with the recent release of the September 2014 IT Audit Framework (ITAF) and with that prepares readers to take the new exam based on those guidelines. This Study Guide covers the Content Areas and Tasks and Knowledge Areas and breaks them down for the reader in a clear and concise manner.

The book begins with an Assessment Test and then moves on to: IT Governance The IS Audit Process Networking Technology Basics Information Systems Life Cycle System Implementation and Operations Protecting Information Assets Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Each chapter ends with a summary, Exam Essentials (most important items on which one will be tested), Review Questions, and Answers to Review Questions.

In this new edition, all the CISA terminology & definitions have been revised to keep up with new definition in regulations & ISO standards in light of the major breaches which occurred during 2012-14 causing the guidelines and the certification requirements to change. Approximately 73 terms have newer definitions or nomenclature changes. Unique to this study guide only, ISO standards are included as the governing body, ISACA, must comply with these standards now and in the future.

The book comes complete with Exam Essentials, Chapter Review Questions, and Real-World Scenarios, as well as two bonus Practice Exams, Flashcards, and a Glossary of Terms.
