Last week I did participate for a day workshop on the above topic conducted by ISACA, motivation behind participating the event was to see how people see and think about IT governance, because we (WSO2) do have a comprehensive SOA Governance framework (subset of the IT governance) WSO2 Governance Registry.
Key note went on with the topic Risk management in an IT environment and the key learning point of that session was implementation of governance resist by the internal politics of an organization.
Next session went on with the IT governance and enterprise risk management conducted by Ramesh and was a very interesting session. There were couple of actual use-cases discussed within his organization (JKH). Interesting part was the quote "IT is the dog's tail that the business is the dog".
The topic on Information Security in Open Source Model was very poor and the speaker didn't deliver the content for the topic rather trying to explain an opensource project that they are working on.
Couple of sessions went on Forensics that was interesting and there was a new area for me on to see the governance policies tie up to handle forensics.
Anuradha did deliver an excellent session on FOSS for governance with his usual srilankan national kit.
It was interesting to see how general public think about opensource, they think opensource software is not enterprise ready and cannot use to deliver business targets, opensource is just for R&D and for techies to play around, opensource will open the business strategies to public, opensource can hack easily. We (the team from WSO2 Prabath, Sumedha and Myself) we did try to correct their thought by explain them about prctlical usage and about real opensource. What we told them finally was to look at the sucessfull projects that has adopt opensource and deliver business goals.
