IT Governance says that the investment in cyber security is encouraging, but does not go far enough to protect organisations from attack.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, October 29, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A recent analysis of global network attacks found that three of the ten countries most targeted by advanced persistent threats (APTs) were in the APAC region and that APAC countries were more likely to be targeted by advanced cyber attacks than those in the rest of the world. In response to these findings, two advanced security response centres are being launched in Singapore and Australia to monitor cyber risks.

IT Governance Ltd, the global provider of cyber security expertise, says that this investment in cyber security is encouraging, but does not go far enough to protect APAC organisations from attack. Enterprises in the region can help themselves by implementing an information security management system (ISMS), as set out in the international best-practice standard ISO27001.

Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of IT Governance, says: “Asia-Pacific enterprises that take the threat of cyber attack seriously should implement an ISO27001-compliant ISMS. An ISMS is the best way to minimise the risk of a data breach and protect your profits, which is why it’s no surprise that certification to the Standard is increasing in the APAC region. For example, ISO27001 certifications were up 29% in Singapore and 22% in Australia from 2012 to 2013 according to latest ISO figures.”

Calder continues: “An ISMS provides a holistic approach to information security management that addresses the whole enterprise, and accredited certification to the Standard offers globally acknowledged proof that information security best practice has been adopted. IT Governance’s ISO27001 Get A Lot Of Help package makes it easy for APAC organisations to implement ISO27001.”

The Get A Lot Of Help package contains tried and tested, highly experienced consultancy support, guidance and project management. This helps organisations get the best out of an integrated set of tools and services that, between them, enable them to achieve guaranteed ISO27001-certification readiness.
