Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Select ALL capabilities associated with COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies) in the supplied material.
Answer
Aligning information technology governance with business goals, Supporting risk management and compliance, Establishing metrics and benchmarks for performance evaluation
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Aligning information technology governance with business goals** is stated as a COBIT function.
- **Supporting risk management and compliance** reflects its use of defined control objectives.
- **Establishing metrics and benchmarks for performance evaluation** supports review and improvement of cybersecurity effectiveness.
### The concept
Metrics make performance more observable, while benchmarks provide a point of comparison. Neither proves that every risk is gone; they help decision-makers assess whether governance activities are working.
### The other options
- **D. Guaranteeing that all security risks are eliminated**: The material says COBIT helps identify and mitigate risk, not eliminate every risk.
