The ISACA® Journal you hold in your hand—or read on your screen—marks an important milestone. The year 2022 is the 50th year of this publication. It was founded just three years after ISACA® itself was established in 1969.
In its earliest days, the ISACA Journal (which has gone by a few names in its long history) helped shape a new profession: electronic data processing auditing. It has since helped members navigate new challenges and opportunities across many fields: audit, governance, risk, cybersecurity, privacy and emerging technology.
Looking back at issues spanning the past decades, the Journal serves as a time capsule of the pressing technology issues of the day. Take a look at some of the memorable covers included here.
Today, the ISACA Journal continues to advance the digital trust community. The guidance in these pages helps build the knowledge and confidence to help the ISACA professional community create a secure an innovative digital world.
While ISACA publishes and disseminates the Journal, it comes to life because of you. Over the past 50 years, thousands of volunteer authors and reviewers have contributed their expertise to ensure that ISACA’s 150,000+ readers have access to the most critical, most relevant and most valuable guidance to advance their careers and protect their enterprises.
In 1972, the compact disc and the first US cable network (HBO) were introduced. In 2022, we have streaming music and television. So much has changed, but one thing remains the same: ISACA’s unwavering commitment to helping you successfully navigate, embrace and optimize new technologies and new ways of doing business.
Happy 2022! May the year ahead be a wonderful one for you and your family.
Regards,
