ISO27000 and Information Security: A Combined Glossary
by Steve G Watkins Alan CalderGet to grips with key ISO27000 and information security vocabulary with this indispensable, concise pocket guide! Information security is of crucial importance to your business. If you don t know the difference between a cookie and a worm, or between war-chalking and digital watermarking, you are sure to find this guide enlightening. The strength of the book is that it is a combined glossary, enabling you to find explanations of geek slang, procedural language and acronyms all in one place. The combined glossary is a revised edition of the popular A Dictionary of Information Security Terms, and this new edition has been able to draw on the definitions provided in ISO/IEC 27000:2009 Security Techniques Information security management systems Overview and vocabulary. What's new? Further definitions are sourced from ISO/IEC Guide 73:2002 to provide you with authoritative explanations of those information security terms that are used across the ISO framework. The combined glossary has taken account of an important change on the information security scene, and contains some new acronyms and definitions from the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Benefits to business include: * Understand what everyone else is talking about The fact that you re reading this suggests you take an interest in information security. Whether you work in business or in the public sector, it s an issue that s likely to come up. If you re given a position paper to read on information security, or have to attend a briefing, you will want to form your own opinion, particularly when the discussion directly affects your company. Meekly accepting arguments you don t understand is never a good idea, especially not when large sums of money are involved. With the clear, reliable definitions contained in this combined glossary, you can finally get to grips with the problem. * Understand what you re talking about Any modern organisation relies on its IT systems. Although IT may not be your speciality, cybercrime affects all of us. So, wherever you work, if you are in a position of responsibility, then at some point, you will need to form a view on information security and put your point across. You can use this combined glossary to bring your arguments into sharper focus. The pocket guide will prove invaluable not only to business executives but also to civil servants and lawyers, as well as to people working in financial services and the media. * Assist ISO implementation If your company or department is introducing an information security management system (ISMS) as specified under ISO27001, then you can ensure that key personnel are up to speed on the issue of information security by giving them all a copy of this pocket guide. * Make better decisions The bad guys are only ever a mouse-click away. If you care at all about the financial well-being of your company, you need to take action on information security. However, there is often a gap between management s overall sense of its responsibilities regarding information security and the IT people whose technical skills are required to fulfil those obligations. This combined glossary will help your organisation to bridge that gap and to facilitate communication between managers and the IT department. The guide enables managers to grasp the key concepts of information security, thereby facilitating the planning and coordination that are essential for successful implementation of any major information security project. So it makes sense to take information security seriously, even if you are not an expert on the subject. This rapidly evolving discipline has spawned a complex and bewildering vocabulary and understanding the terms and language will stand you in good stead. If you have ever felt confused by the language of information security, this pocket guide is for you; designed for non-specialist managers and those who are new to the subject, two internationally recognised experts in the field of information security have created a simple key to the mysteries of geek speak.
ISO27001 / ISO27002 A Pocket Guide
by Alan CalderISO/IEC 27001:2005 is an international standard for information security management systems (ISMSs). Closely allied to ISO/IEC 27002:2005 (which used to be known as ISO17799), this standard (sometimes called the ISMS standard) can help organizations meet all their information-related regulatory compliance objectives and can help them prepare and position themselves for new and emerging regulations. Information is the lifeblood of modern organizations and, therefore, ensuring that information is simultaneously protected and available to those who need it is essential to modern business operations. Information systems are not usually designed from the outset to be secure. Technical security measures and checklists are limited in their ability to protect a complete information system. Management systems and procedural controls are essential components of any really secure information system and, to be effective, need careful planning and attention to detail. ISO/IEC 27001 provides the specification for an information security management system and, in the related Code of Practice, ISO/IEC 27002, it draws on the knowledge of a group of experienced information security practitioners in a wide range of significant organizations across more than 40 countries to set out best practice in information security. An ISO27001-compliant system will provide a systematic approach to ensuring the availability, confidentiality and integrity of corporate information. The controls of ISO27001 are based on identifying and combating the entire range of potential risks to the organizations information assets. This helpful, handy ISO27001/ISO27002 pocket guide gives a useful overview of these two important information security standards.
ISO27001 in a Windows® Environment
by Brian HonanA fundamental title that should be part of every information security practitioner''s technical library!The vast majority of ISO27001 implementations will, to one extent or another, take place in a Windows environment. ISO27001 project managers are not always Microsoft technical experts, but a large number of the ISO27001 controls require a technical implementation. Bridging the gap between non-technical ISO27001 project managers and IT specialists, this book explains what the controls are, and describes how to implement them in a Windows environment, equipping the ISO27001 project manager to succeed with the implementation. MCSEs who have security training (MCSE Security), but who may not understand the ISO27001 approach to selecting and implementing controls, will also benefit from this book. It provides them with the necessary rationale and links their technical understanding of Microsoft information security controls into the international best practice framework for information security. This book should be a core part of the technical library of every MCSE and information security practitioner. If you have a CISSP, CISM, GIAC, or another professional certification, you should read this book. Covering best practice implementation over a wide range of Windows® environments, this second edition is completely up to date for Windows® 7 and Server® 2008. Benefits to business include: * Enable successful implementation Although ISO27001 project managers are seldom Microsoft technical experts, a large number of the ISO27001 Annexe A controls demand a technical implementation. Now, thanks to this book, project managers can finally give a clear explanation to their technical people of what is required under ISO27001. Armed with this guide, a project manager will find it much easier to succeed with implementation of ISO27001 * Help security engineers to understand ISO27001 ISO27001 is the international best practice framework for information security. However, because ISO27001 takes a business risk approach, it is unfamiliar territory to many Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers (MCSEs), even if they already have security training (MCSE Security). With this book, MSCEs can fill a gap in their knowledge and thereby harness their technical understanding of the Microsoft information security controls to drive through implementation of ISO27001 * Improve security and reliability. The purpose of ISO27001 is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your business information. By putting suitable controls in place you can achieve these "CIA" goals. In this way you will also make your storage and handling of data more reliable * Take advantage of the tools you already have to hand. Since Microsoft products are so widely used, the technical details in this book are based on the Microsoft Windows® platform. This book shows IT managers how to make effective use of the Microsoft technologies at their disposal to support implementation of ISO27001. As a result, your organisation should be able to achieve certification without having to buy additional third-party software. Security improvements from MicrosoftMicrosoft''s latest desktop operating system, Windows® 7, comes with many security improvements. You can use these to help you to develop an ISMS that complies with ISO27001. One of these features is BitLocker, an encrypting system that allows you to encrypt individual files and folders. You can also encrypt the entire contents of a computer''s hard disk to make the data stored on it unavailable to unauthorised personnel. BitLocker To Go enables you to transport information securely from one system to another using portable devices such as a USB. Another feature of Windows 7, AppLocker, will allow your organisation to restrict the applications available to a user on a desktop. By preventing improper use of key applications by your staff, AppLocker can help your organisation to reduce security risks. This guide provides the IT manager with a detailed breakdown of the various controls requir...

IT Auditing: The Practitioner's Guide to Reliable Information Automation
by Jerald SavinMore than ever, technology is indispensable to business operations and recordkeeping, so people skilled in computer automation — IT auditors — have become an essential part of the financial audit team.This book is a comprehensive guide to the IT audit discipline, and to the impact of abstraction on businesses. Developments including Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI) mean that businesses are moving from a physical world to an abstracted digital world, increasing reliance on systems, their design, their implementation and on those that oversee and maintain these systems — often parties outside the businesses’ control. Though the implications of these shifts go far beyond IT auditing, this book focuses on what IT auditors need to know in this new environment, such as:• How to understand abstracted services and appropriate internal business controls• How to evaluate situations where physicality has been replaced by abstracted services• How to understand and adapt to the impact of abstracted services on objectives, operations, decision-making, and Risk Management, including changing risk profiles and introducing new risks.In the wake of the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Evolution project, this book will be an essential resource for readers seeking CPA certification, as well as for business leaders and Risk Management professionals who need to understand the benefits and challenges of ever-increasing automation and its concurrent abstraction of physical reality.

IT Controlling: From IT cost and activity allocation to smart controlling
by Andreas GadatschIT controlling is established as a tool for controlling information technology. The job description of the IT controller has changed only moderately over a long period of time. It was mainly associated with IT budgeting, IT portfolio management, IT cost planning, accounting and controlling. However, digitalization has brought movement in goals, contents and methods. New topics such as digital strategy management, cloud controlling, data science, etc. are being discussed. The task profile is changing away from pure IT cost analysis to the management of the digitization strategy with a focus on strategic IT portfolio management. Some voices are already talking about "smart controlling" or "digital controlling". This book presents an IT controlling concept for the digital age and explains the relevant methods in a practical way.

IT Development in Korea: A Broadband Nirvana? (Routledge Advances in Korean Studies)
by Kwang-Suk LeeThis book investigates the contextual factors that led to Korean society becoming ‘broadband heaven’ — the most wired nation in the world — by scrutinizing the historical contexts surrounding the Korean Information Infrastructure (KII) project (1995–2005), which aimed to establish a nationwide high-speed backbone network, as well as its later evolution, which involved redesigning the public infrastructure. The book details the hidden mechanisms and the real elements of building the ‘broadband heaven’: the global constraints conditioning its telecom policies, the dense state–capital linkages, and the bureaucratic desire for social control. It draws on the state-in-society approach to analyze the deformations caused by the symbiosis between the state and big business in implementing the rosy vision of the broadband network. This book provides insights into how to formulate future telecom policies along much more democratically participatory lines while restraining the overwhelming power of the telecom oligopolies and conglomerates. It stands alone as a comprehensive study of the recent East Asian model of IT development, written specifically to examine Korea’s socio-historical mechanisms for promoting physical speed and broadband mobility. This book will be important reading to anyone interested in Korean Studies, Information Technology and I.T. Development.
