  • How Does the New Revision of ISO/IEC 27002 Affect ISO/IEC 27001

    PECB Insighths

    With the publication of the new ISO/IEC 27002:2022 in February 2022, ISO kicked off the longawaited update cycle of information security standards covered by the ISO 27000 family. In this article, we will look into the consequences for the global security professionals’ community that try to keep their environment as secure as possible.

    With the publication of the new ISO/IEC 27002:2022 in February 2022, ISO kicked off the longawaited update cycle of information security standards covered by the ISO 27000 family. In this article, we will look into the consequences for the global security professionals’ community that try to keep their environment as secure as possible.

    But the story is a bit more complicated than just updating a series of global information security standards. Since the 2013 publication of the previous generation, the world of information security has changed drastically because of the increased pressure on cybersecurity and cloud security.

    And I have not mentioned the new world of data protection and privacy yet, GDPR has not only pushed the data protection expectations in Europe, but many regions have also assimilated similar data protection rules.

    In this new era, there is no privacy nor data protection without cybersecurity. And a well-built information (cyber) security management system – in whatever format – is an absolute requirement to protect yourself, your organization, and your peers. It is not only about your own protection anymore.

  • Security for IoT – Did you already patch your fridge and watch?

    iExpertsmagazine

    When talking IoT, most people (I mean the non-tech nerds), think about smartwatches, fridges, intelligent TVs, home control devices, kids’ toys that can interact with some intelligence… in general any internet-connected personal device for personal or home use.

    But IoT (Internet of Things) in a larger interpretation is not limited to only personal devices with internet connectivity. These smart devices are also used in enterprise environments, like manufacturing, traffic control, waste…

    When talking IoT, most people (I mean the non-tech nerds), think about smartwatches, fridges, intelligent TVs, home control devices, kids’ toys that can interact with some intelligence… in general any internet-connected personal device for personal or home use.

    But IoT (Internet of Things) in a larger interpretation is not limited to only personal devices with internet connectivity. These smart devices are also used in enterprise environments, like manufacturing, traffic control, waste control, heating systems, drinking water systems, radar systems, electricity generation, and distribution…

    Then ‘simple’ IoT becomes IIOT, Industrial Internet of Things.
    The common denominator is that both IoT and IIoT (ICS/SCADA) are booming business and these devices are more and more internet-connected these days. It’s so convenient to talk to your devices, have the latest updates, and have a remote control.

    Hackers and cybercriminals know that too.

  • GDPR: Increasing the privacy pressure

    PECB Insights Magazine

    (1 year GDPR.)
    And I’m not sure what I should think about it today. Mixed feelings, mixed results, because the GDPR sets a consolidated baseline for privacy protection on the EU level but also worldwide, while lots of companies are still in bad shape for their privacy practice, and some old, unacceptable habits are still alive, or even getting worse. So where are we exactly with the GDPR, mid-2019, you think?
