/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance Ltd, the global provider of cyber security management solutions, has expanded its range of cyber security products. These now include the ISO27001 Cyber Security Toolkit (www.itgovernanceusa.com/product/2379.aspx) and the Cyber Security Assessment Tool (www.itgovernanceusa.com/product/2493.aspx). Cyber security management solutions are increasingly sought after as they give organizations an effective weapon against cybercrime and enable them to meet compliance regulations.
Last week, John Bryson, U.S. Commerce Secretary has offered his endorsement of the Cybersecurity Legislation pending in the U.S. Senate. Under the bill, the Department of Homeland Security would be vested with new powers to oversee private-sector digital systems that are deemed critical infrastructure.
Reported by CIO magazine online, Bryson wrote, “Over the past five years, a highly sophisticated team of operatives have stealthily infiltrated more than 70 U.S. corporations and organizations to steal priceless company secrets. They did it without ever setting foot in any victim’s office. Sitting at undisclosed computers, they could be anywhere in the world. This is the new face of corporate espionage.”
Commerce Secretary Bryson also expressed his support in economic terms: “[T]here is another reason to care about Internet security that is less known: protecting U.S. competitiveness and jobs in the global economy.”
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, comments, “It is reassuring to see that American top politicians are backing the Cybersecurity Legislation. Individuals, and more importantly, senior managers have to recognize that cybersecurity matters and it will play an ever more important role in our life. Building any organization’s cyber security defenses successfully can only be achieved through adopting sound cybersecurity practices.”
The ISO27001 Cyber Security Toolkit (www.itgovernanceusa.com/product/2379.aspx provides organisations with an optimal route to implementing cyber security and achieving compliance with ISO27001, the world’s only cyber security standard. It contains all the tools and resources businesses need to implement their own cyber security project and align their business with ISO27001.
The ISO27001 standard provides a model for the implementation of an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS). Organizations may seek independent certification of their ISMS against this international standard. Having an ISO27001 certified ISMS increases an organization’s credibility and gives it a competitive advantage in dealing with it customers and partners. ISO 27001 can open the door for mutual data and information exchange with your clients and partners.
Customers who buy the toolkit before the end of March will receive a free Cyber Security Assessment Tool: www.itgovernanceusa.com/product/2493.aspx. It will help them quickly and clearly identify the areas of potential security weakness (vulnerabilities). For each of those areas, they will be able to assess the probability of a threat and the potential impact on the organization if this threat occurs.
