Industry experts estimate that annual losses from cyber crime could rise to USD 2 trillion by next year). With countless new targets added every day, especially mobile devices and connected “things”, a joined-up approach is essential.
Tackling today’s IT security risks is a big headache for us. The attraction of cyber crime to criminal hackers is obvious: tangled webs of interactions, relatively low penalties, disjointed approaches on money laundering and potentially massive payouts. The key is preparation and seeing vulnerabilities, and resilience, in terms of interactions with overall management systems, and that’s where information security management systems (ISMS) standard ISO/IEC 27001 comes in.
Standards:
International Standards covering everything from the creation of a shared vocabulary (ISO/IEC 27000), risk management (ISO/IEC 27005), cloud security (ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018) to the forensic techniques used to analyse digital evidence and investigate incidents (ISO/IEC 27042 and ISO/IEC 27043 respectively).
Uses:
These standards are not only about helping to manage information security but will also help to identify and bring criminals to justice. For example, ISO/IEC 27043 offers guidelines that describe processes and principles applicable to various kinds of investigations, including, but not limited to, unauthorized access, data corruption, system crashes, or corporate breaches of information security, as well as any other digital investigation.
Stay ahead of "THE GAME":
“A cyber-attack on one part of the supply chain could disrupt the whole of the chain” and the impacts can reach way beyond your own business, or even your direct clients. At the business level, it remains a formidable task to model and mitigate threats from all conceivable angles. There’s a clear need to use a unified, integrated security system across the whole business.
People are increasingly asking questions about the way that institutions and companies store, analyse and monetize the vast amounts of data that we hand over more or less voluntarily.
When privacy, finances, individual or corporate reputation are threatened, it undermines confidence and impacts our behavior, both online and in real life. The role of the ISO/IEC 27000 family is to keep us one step ahead. We don't want to get schooled by HACKERS.
