Indian organisations need to beware of the risks their employees expose them to and should put appropriate measures in place to protect their businesses.

NEW DELHI, INDIA, May 13, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to Symantec’s new Internet Security Threat Report, India was the second most targeted country in the world in 2014 – after the US – for social media-based cyber crime, ranked third in Asia for ransomware attacks, and is the sixth most bot-infected country in the world.

Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of international information security provider IT Governance, says that Indian organisations need to beware of the risks their employees expose them to and should put appropriate measures in place to protect their businesses from staff clicking on malicious links in social media while at work.

“Insider threats – whether malicious or unintentional – remain the biggest security risk faced by modern businesses. Any employee with access to the Internet can jeopardise the safety of an entire organisation with a single careless mouse-click. It’s therefore essential to implement information security controls that cover the entire organisation, and encompass people, processes and technology – as found in the international information security standard ISO 27001.”

ISO 27001 sets out the requirements of an information security management system (ISMS), a risk-based approach to information security that covers information security risks throughout the organisation.

Enterprises of all sizes, sectors and locations can use ISO 27001 to implement and maintain security controls to mitigate the specific threats they face, and accredited certification to the Standard enables organisations to demonstrate that they are following a best-practice approach to information security.

Thanks to IT Governance’s fixed-price ISO 27001 Packaged Solutions, Indian organisations can now take advantage of expert ISO 27001 consultancy to implement the Standard for as little as INR ₹4,17,472.40.

With their unique combination of standards, books, toolkits, software, training and online consultancy, IT Governance’s packages provide Indian organisations with all they need to implement the Standard and ensure their cyber security.
