Abstract:

The presentation focuses on the importance of cybersecurity as a process which includes various stakeholders and requires clear defined gates in an organisation.

Information security allows safeguarding a company’s information in both digital (e.g., files) and analog (e.g., physical documents) forms. It includes protecting against unauthorized access, misuse, data theft, and data loss, requiring both technical and non-technical measures.

Core Protection Goals

Confidentiality: Only authorized individuals or systems can access data.
Integrity: Information is protected from unauthorized changes during storage and transmission.
Availability: Data is accessible to authorized users and systems at all times and can be restored if issues arise.

Extended goals include:

Commitment and Accountability: Data changes are attributable to specific individuals and cannot be denied.
Authenticity: Data from specified sources is genuine and trustworthy.

As a sample, the Information Security Management System (ISMS), compliant with ISO 27001, supports effective information security strategies. Key requirements include:

Defining ISMS scope
Conducting risk assessments
Establishing policies, reporting, and monitoring guidelines

Each organisation requires an appointed Information Security Officer (ISO) for ISMS development and maintenance.

The focus of Information Security Officer will be outlined in the presentation

Developing and Implementing Policies
Risk Management and Conducting assessments and mitigating security gaps.
Incident Response and Coordinating responses to restore normal operations.
Post-Incident Analysis and Investigating incidents to derive preventive measures.
Employee Training and Awareness by Educating on information security risks and best practices.
Monitoring Compliance and Conducting audits to ensure guideline adherence.
Reporting and Collaboration by Communicating security status and necessary actions to stakeholders and regular updates to Leadership Team and Board

The two case studies will capture:

Automotive: TISAX builds on ISO/IEC 27001, adding provisions for supply chains and prototype security. ISO/IEC/SAE 21434 which addresses cybersecurity in motor vehicles.
Healthcare: ISO 27799 which enhances information security in healthcare, based on ISO 27002.
