摘要

Information security flaws can result in escalating financial losses and wreak havoc with business operations. The newly published ISO/IEC 27001:2005 standard for information security management systems can help organizations plug existing leaks and prevent future threats. "The publication of ISO/IEC 27001:2005 is a big event in the world of information security and the standard has been eagerly awaited," said Ted Humphreys, Convenor of the working group responsible for managing the development of the standard. "It is a standard that all security-conscious organizations should look to implement." ISO/IEC 27001:2005 can be used by a broad range of organizations - small, medium and large - in most of the commercial and industrial market sectors: finance and insurance, telecommunications, utilities, retail and manufacturing sectors, various service industries, transportation sector, governments and many others.
