The Growing Need for CISA: Why IT Audit Skills Are in Demand
Cybersecurity breaches cost organizations billions annually, with 2025 reports estimating a 15% rise in incidents like ransomware and phishing. The Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification, offered by ISACA, equips professionals to assess vulnerabilities, ensure compliance, and implement robust controls. Unlike other certifications, CISA focuses on the intersection of IT systems, business processes, and risk management, making it ideal for auditors, security professionals, and IT managers.
Why does CISA matter? It’s not just about passing an exam—it’s about proving you can protect organizations from real threats. Picture this: you’re auditing a company’s cloud infrastructure, spotting a misconfigured access control that could’ve led to a data breach. That’s the kind of impact CISA enables. With DevOpsSchool’s CISA training, mentored by Rajesh Kumar, you’ll gain practical skills to navigate complex IT environments and earn a credential trusted by 150,000+ professionals worldwide.
