Free Webinar From IT Governance To Answer the Big Questions About Information Security and ISO27001
Allentown, PA (PRWEB) May 24, 2008 -- A free webinar from IT governance consultant and author, Alan Calder, is to demonstrate the far-reaching benefits of the ISO27001 Standard and certification scheme. Implementing ISO27001 Information Security in North America (http://www.27001.com/iso27001-webinar.aspx), taking place on Wednesday 28 May 2008, covers the fundamental issues and concepts associated with new international standard IS027001 (http://www.27001.com/default.aspx), and demonstrates how applying the standard to organizations' information management security systems (ISMS) can make a critical difference to enterprise readiness to meet today's information and IT challenges.
Already implemented by major leading organizations across North America, including the Federal Reserve Banks of New York and San Francisco, Bechtel, EDS, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Reuters, Unisys and Xerox, ISO27001 is the first international standard on Information Security Management Systems, and covers the three key areas of information security, regulatory compliance and best practice guidance.
Commented Alan Calder, Chief Executive of IT Governance, "Effective application of ISO27001 allows organizations the confidence to secure themselves against current and evolving information security threats, ensure compliance with current and merging regulations, systematically protect their intellectual property, confidential information and proprietary know-how, and ensures that information is accessible to the appropriate people at the right time. The beauty of ISO27001 is that it provides a framework that can drive down the costs of compliance and information security, while simultaneously helping improve operational effectiveness."
