Revised ISO 17799 Boosts Information Security Management Relevance

Overview EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: ISO/IEC has released the second version of 17799 (ISO/IEC 17799:2005) — the most widely adopted information security management framework. The original standard ISO/IEC 17799:2000 has gained momentum over the past five years — organizations around the world have used it as the centerpiece for their security programs. However, the original standard had some weak areas, which have been addressed in the second version. ISO/IEC 17799:2005 provides a strong and expanded framework for information security management. However, it is just a framework — it gives organizations guidance about scope and breadth, but it does not provide the depth of a strong information security program.
