Essential books help senior managers set a cybersecurity strategy
/EINPresswire.com/ Cybercrime is real and organisations that don't take it seriously can incur direct and indirect financial losses if their information is stolen. Indirect financial losses are associated with loss of customers and reputation damage and can have a devastating impact on business, particularly on smaller and medium-sized companies.
Cybercriminals are increasingly sophisticated and organised, and unless they have an adequate information security management system (ISMS) in place, organisations can be very vulnerable to attacks. Find out more here: www.itgovernance.co.uk/iso27001.aspx.
In a debate on 'The Future of Cyberwarfare' broadcasted on the 'The Voice of Russia' radio show, Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, said, "It is completely impossible to regulate cyberweapons. The weapons that are being used are used at a low level by hackers and at a high level by extremely experienced, well funded organisations with the skills to penetrate significant and sophisticated defences."
Calder continued, "The broader range of issues affect all organisations and none of these issues have the security of being controlled by a treaty or a regulation."
A recent report from accountancy firm PwC on cybercrime highlights has said that complacency amongst top managers is a key issue. It is not well understood that cybersecurity management is the responsibility of the board, and that every organisation needs an integrated cybersecurity strategy in order to remain competitive in the 21st century.
