COBIT 5 is an update to COBIT 4.1 that provides an integrated governance framework for IT and the enterprise as a whole. Some key changes include merging some processes, reassigning others, introducing new processes, and separating governance from management. Implementing COBIT 5 requires determining stakeholder priorities and tailoring the framework to an organization's specific needs. Upgrading from COBIT 4.1 may be easier for more mature organizations while others may find it better to adopt COBIT 5 from the start.
Enterprise architecture provides a structured way to define and manage an organization by depicting its current state and future vision. It aligns IT and business goals while managing complexity across the organization. Enterprise architecture is important because it supports decision making, budget prioritization, systems development, and delivering roadmaps for managing change by providing insight into the entire business and IT landscape.

Destination 100%: the evolutionary journey to a total quality concept in the ...HML Ltd
HML is developing a "total quality concept" or "wheel" to holistically assess employee performance quality and prevent customer detriment. The wheel combines data from various quality frameworks to provide team leaders all the information needed to evaluate individuals. This preventative approach aims to place customers at the center of operations, in line with regulatory focus on appropriate consumer outcomes. If implemented, the wheel could help HML achieve its goal of a 0% risk appetite through ongoing feedback loops that improve employee performance over time.

The document discusses a revised Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears published by the Central Bank of Ireland on June 27, 2013. The code aims to strengthen protections for borrowers struggling with repayments by ensuring fair and transparent treatment by lenders and seeking long-term resolutions. It came into effect on July 1, 2013, but lenders have six months to implement changes before being strictly monitored. The new code clarifies definitions of cooperation and gives lenders more power over non-cooperative borrowers. HML can help lenders comply through strategic contact campaigns, maintaining account records, financial statement fulfillment, and providing management information and oversight.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
