Title: The BS7799 Security
Standard
Author: Paul Walsh
The BS7799 Security Standard
BS 7799 is a set of security polices and standard procedures. This
standard refers specifically to Information Security Standards. It was
formally approved in 2000 and was developed by BSI British Standards.
This standard basically defines a set of recommended information
security management practices. It is in fact a set of recommendations
that any company may accept as they try to improve their information
security status. These standards are not mandatory that any company
needs to full fill. Rather they are much like ISO standards.
BS7799 is an open approach to most of the common information issues,
related to electronic files, data files and software files, and paper
documents. Information related to hand written notes, printed materials
and photographs, recordings, video recordings and audio recordings,
general communications including conversations, telephone
conversations, cell phone conversations and face to face conversations.
This definition extends to messages such as email messages, fax
messages, instant messages, video messages, and physical messages also.
Companies across the USA, are very worried that cyberspace will be
terrorism's next battleground and are paying lot of attention to
security since September 11. About 77% of businesses have improved
their security and safety strategy against hackers, viruses and other
attackers. Such threats are pretty real. Cyberspace attacks jumped 64%
from a year ago.
