Japan Airlines hack illustrates need for greater security in Asia-Pacific region

The recent hacking of Japan Airlines’ customer information management system is hardly isolated – every organisation, whatever its location, is at risk.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, October 20, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Examples of organisations falling victim to cyber attacks continue to hit the headlines. The recent hacking of Japan Airlines’ customer information management system resulted in the loss of up to 750,000 customers’ personal information, including addresses, email addresses, genders and birth dates. This incident is hardly isolated – every organisation, whatever its location, is at risk.

Founder and Executive Chairman of IT Governance Alan Calder says, “Modern cyber attacks are automated and indiscriminate and no organisation is safe. Asia-Pacific enterprises that take their information security seriously should implement an information security management system (ISMS) as set out in ISO27001, the international standard for best-practice information security management.”

ISO27001 is the only international standard to approach information security as an enterprise-wide concern. Addressing people and processes as well as technological solutions, ISO27001 provides all organisations with a best-practice approach to securing their information assets. Accredited certification to the Standard is accepted globally as an indication of good cyber security.

IT Governance’s ISO27001 Get A Little Help package contains core standards, implementation manuals, tools and training to help organisations that have some management system expertise (e.g. with ISO9001, or ISO20000) to successfully achieve ISO27001 certification.
