New York, NY (PRWEB) November 26, 2008 -- Recognizing that the current financial crisis has far-reaching implications for the way information technology is used to further business objectives, The GRC Group (www.grcg.com/itgr-class-dec-2008/) today announced it will sponsor a four-day training in Information Security and Information Technology Governance and Risk Management. Upon successful completion of the class and exams, which will be held December 8-11, 2008, in the New York metropolitan area, attendees will be accorded certifications in IS/IT Governance (CITG/CITGP), IS/IT Risk Management (CITR/CITRP) as well as IS/IT Compliance (CITC/CITCP).

According to Sanjay Anand, Chairperson of The GRC Group, the global leader in governance, risk management, and compliance, today's economic climate dictates that companies do all they can to leverage technology to achieve business objectives. "Enterprises in every industry must integrate risk management into their operations," he said. "Information technology can both drive best practices in risk management, as well as in governance and compliance."

Noting that, over the past decade, information technology has increasingly moved from the backroom to the boardroom, Anand calls IT a "strategic enabler" in protecting companies from risk and helping them survive the current economic downturn. "When you implement a well-designed risk governance process, you can develop a solid foundation of assets, people, processes, and controls that enable executives to effectively prioritize and manage risks," he said.

The GRC Group's December IS/IT Governance and Risk Management class and certification will provide attendees with the information they need to assess and mitigate risk, as well as to design and implement a system of decision rights that forms the foundation of IT governance.

In addition to instruction, attendees will receive more than 500 pages of informative and actionable materials, as well as a complementary IT Compliance (CITC) self-study package valued at over $1,000.
