The COBIT frameworks have become an industry standard for IT management and governance. COBIT was initially an acronym for "Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology," but with COBIT 5 the spelled-out version was dropped. The changes between COBIT 4.1 and COBIT 5 include more emphasis on creating business value. The COBIT 5 framework, which was released in 2012, is based on five key principles:
Meeting stakeholder needs
Covering the enterprise end-to-end
Applying a single integrated framework
Enabling a holistic approach
Separating governance from management
COBIT 5 also combines the COBIT frameworks with others developed by ISACA, such as Val IT and Risk IT as well as resources from the Information Technology Infrastructure Library and related standards from the International Organization for Standardization
