Security: by the book
Everyone talks about IT security risks, but how many businesses are actually doing anything about it? For those lagging behind, the British Standards Institution (BSI) is launching a new book on network security, Delivering and Managing Real World Network Security, which provides an overview of the guidance given in the five parts of ISO/IEC 18028 (Information technology. Security techniques. Securing communications across networks using Virtual Private Networks.). Standards are becoming increasingly important in the IT realm, as the business world tries to keep the pace with the ever-changing world of tech.

As BSI's global website explains: "With the ever increasing need to use IT systems to communicate within and between organizations to operate effectively - making your IT network secure is a top priority. Your network should be protected against malicious and inadvertent attacks, and should meet the business requirements for confidentiality, integrity, availability, non-repudiation, accountability, authenticity and reliability of information and services."

Is your business up to speed?
