BLTYH’S BOOKS INCIDENT SECURITY MANAGEMENT POLICY AND THE ISO/IEC 27035
The ISO/IEC 27035 standard embodies the acceptable practice for the management of information security and ascertains the guidelines for the initiation, execution, maintenance and enhancement of information security management in organisations. The ISO 27035 standard is proposed to be a guide for emergent organisations in developing and implementing their information security policies. The implementation of this standard will improve an organisation’s capability of tackling information security incidents adequately as well as allay the negative effects of such incidents either directly or otherwise on their business operations. Proposed by this standard are five phases which organisations are encouraged to adopt in preparing for information security incidents.
Blyth’s Books information security incident management policy needs to reflect the advised activities expressed in the five phases of incident management to be ISO 27035 compliant.
PLAN AND PREPARE
The plan and prepare phase is quite broad. This phase comprises of the establishment of a comprehensive incident management structure, the formation of an Information Security Incident Response Team (ISIRT), creating awareness for the incident management structure and the testing of such structure. Blyth’s Books should include in their incident management policy a more comprehensive review of the vulnerabilities that are presently associated with their

The incident response policy is very useful as it offers guidance on how to handle the situation when data has been breached. Through the policy security experts can restore the situation to normal and ensure that business runs again as usual without incurring to much losses due to time wastage. The policy gives clear guidance of the tasks and activities that should be carried out by the employees and the managers including procedures, reporting and feedback mechanism (Butler, 2015).
According to Whitman and Mattord (2010), The ISO 27000 series is one of the most widely referenced security models. Referencing ISO/IEC 27002 (17799:2005), the major process steps include: risk assessment and treatment, security policy, organization of information security, asset management, human resources security, physical and environmental security, communications and operations management, access control, information systems acquisition, development, and maintenance, information security incident management, business continuity management, and compliance
Sadly, there is no way to alleviate the numerous amounts of threats that haunt networks and computers worldwide. The foundation and framework for choosing and implementing countermeasures against them are very important. A written policy is vital in helping to insure that everyone within the organization understands and behaves in an appropriate manner with regards to the fact that sensitive data and the security of software should be kept safe.
The risks that face an organization are going to always be present. However, an incident response plan outlines procedures for handling security incidents that occur within the organization and for correcting and documenting the security issue in a timely manner. The incident response team is trained to effectively implement the incident response plan. By containing an attack, and limiting the amount of time that an attack is allowed to continue, further risks to the organization can be mitigated.
An Incident Response Plan is documented to provide a well-defined, organized approach for handling any potential threat to computers and data, as well as taking appropriate action when the source of the intrusion or incident at a third party is traced back to the organization. The Plan identifies and describes the roles and responsibilities of the Incident Response Team. The Incident Response Team is responsible for putting the plan into action.
Throughout the Bible there is constant suffering. The suffering that is present and sometimes persistent throughout the process brings the question of why do people have to suffer? In many cases is a matter of bad people suffer for the bad things they do. For example, if someone breaks the law then they either get a fine, ticket, or they must go to jail. This same logic is followed in most of the bible. In the story of brothers Cain and Abel, Cain is jealous of the favor that Abel gets from God. One day Cain calls upon his brother and kills him due to jealousy and envy. Cain ultimately ends up being punished by God. His punishment is that when he tries to grow anything he will receive no yield. The punishment that Cain received for killing
Did you know that walkalong gliders can stay in the air as long as you want? This happens because of wind constantly pushing wind against the glider, therefore keeping the glider in the air. According to recent experience with gliders, the hypothesis is going to be which glider is faster, and which one stays up longer, and if the hypothesis is correct then the seagull glider will be the best. If the conditions are not perfect, then this will affect the project majorly. To understand more about walkalong gliders you must know the science behind gliders, the condition the paper must be in, and also possible weather that will affect the project.
The information security incident management policy of Blyth’s Books was created in 2010 and has been reviewed four times in five years. Those covered by its scope are clearly stated. It stresses the importance of incident management to the organisation and has the support of upper level management.
The ISO/IEC 27000-series consist of information security standards published jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electro technical Commission (IEC). In accordance with ISO/IEC 2700, we begin to define the guidelines to support the interpretation and implementation of information
Designing a working plan for securing the organization s information assets begins by creating or validating an existing security blueprint for the implementation of needed security controls to protect the information assets. A framework is the outline from which a more detailed blueprint evolves. The blueprint is the basis for the design, selection, and implementation of all subsequent security policies, education and training programs, and technologies. The blueprint provides scaleable, upgradeable, and comprehensive security for the coming years. The blueprint is used to plan the tasks to be accomplished and the order in which
Information security professional’s job is to deploy the right safeguards, evaluating risks against critical assets and to mitigate those threats and vulnerabilities. Management can ensure their company’s assets, such as data, remain intact by finding the latest technology and implementing the right policies. Risk management focuses on analyzing risk and mitigating actions to reduce that risk. Successful implementation of security safeguards depends on the knowledge and experience of information security staff. This paper addresses the methods and fundamentals on how to systematically conduct risk assessments on the security risks of information systems.
