The book begins with an Assessment Test and then moves on to: IT Governance The IS Audit Process Networking Technology Basics Information Systems Life Cycle System Implementation and Operations Protecting Information Assets Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Each chapter ends with a summary, Exam Essentials (most important items on which one will be tested), Review Questions, and Answers to Review Questions.
