A new ISO standard has been launched to help ensure safety of online transactions and personal information exchanged over the Internet. ISO/IEC 27032:2012 Information technology – Security techniques – Guidelines for Cybersecurity is also intended to protect computers when browsing.
Johann Amsenga, convenor of the working group that developed the standard explains, “Devices and connected networks that support cyberspace have multiple owners – each with their own business, operational and regulatory concerns. Not only do the different users and providers share little or no input, but each has a different focus when dealing with security. Such a fragmented state opens up vulnerabilities in cyberspace. ISO/IEC 27032 will provide an overarching, collaborative, multi-stakeholder solution to reduce these risks.”
ISO/IEC 27032 provides a framework for:
•Information sharing
•Coordination
•Incident handling
The standard facilitates secure and reliable collaboration that protects the privacy of individuals everywhere in the world. In this way, it can help to prepare, detect, monitor, and respond to attacks such as:
•Social engineering attacks
•Hacking
•Malicious software (malware)
•Spyware
•Other unwanted software
