Cyber-crime is now at the forefront of growing
illegal activity in the United
States, rising nearly 4000% since 1997.
Economic losses to companies suffering cyber attacks is now estimated to be as
much as 5% of stock price. Equally important is the consumer perspective—nearly
20 million Americans have been victimized by identity theft in the past two
years.
The Code of Practice for Information Security
Management was developed for global implementation by a joint committee of the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC); its subsequent adoption as an American
National Standard was sponsored by the International Committee for Information
Technology Standards (INCITS).
