Organizations need to develop resilience as their main survival mechanism in today’s unstable (VUCA) world because it directly depends on modernizing their IT governance (ITG) and risk management (ITRM) systems. The paper demonstrates that COBIT and ITIL traditional static frameworks fail to protect against modern cyber threats and fast technological advancements, so organizations need to adopt adaptive intelligent solutions. The study evaluates outdated systems while studying three transformative governance methods, which include Agile principles, Cloud-Native architecture, and automated compliance systems. The research investigates modern risk management approaches by studying Cyber Resilience as a new paradigm, Zero Trust architecture deployment, and AI-based predictive analytics implementation. The research develops a single framework that combines these solutions to create an integrated strategic plan. The proposed approach achieves validation through KPIs and case studies from financial, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors, which demonstrate measurable advantages
