ISO/IEC 27001:2022: What's new in IT security?

To address global cybersecurity challenges and enhance digital trust, a new and improved version of ISO/IEC 27001 has just been released. The world's most recognized information security management standard helps organizations protect their information assets, vital in today's increasingly digital world.

Cybercrime is becoming increasingly serious and sophisticated as hackers develop more advanced cybercrime techniques. The World Economic Forum's Global Cybersecurity Outlook report indicates that cyberattacks increased 125% globally in 2021, with evidence suggesting a continued increase through 2022. In this rapidly changing landscape, leaders need to take a strategic approach to cyber risks.

Cybercrime is becoming increasingly serious and sophisticated.

“In the midst of the fourth industrial revolution, systemic interdependence creates both the downward cost of cyber risk and much greater upside value,” says Andreas Wolf, who leads the expert group responsible for the standard. “The organizations that will lead us into the digital future are the ones that are not only vulnerable enough to admit they can't do it themselves, but are also confident and savvy enough to realize that it's better for companies not to even try.”

To address these cybersecurity challenges, organizations need to improve their resilience and implement cyber threat mitigation efforts. Here are the benefits of ISO/IEC 27001 for your organization:

• Protect information in all forms, including hard-copy, cloud-based and digital data
• Increase resilience to cyber attacks
• Provide a centrally managed framework that secures all information in one place
• Ensure organization-wide protection, including against technology-based risks and other threats
• Respond to ever-evolving security threats
• Reduce costs and spending on ineffective defense technologies
• Protect the integrity, confidentiality and availability of data

Organizations that adopt cyber resiliency quickly emerge as leaders in their industry.

Organizations that adopt cyber resiliency through a secure vulnerability quickly emerge as leaders in their industry and set the standard for their ecosystem. The holistic approach of ISO/IEC 27001 means that the whole organization is covered, not just IT. People, technology and processes benefit.

When you use ISO/IEC 27001, you demonstrate to your stakeholders and customers that you are committed to handling information safely and securely. It's a great way to promote your organization, celebrate your achievements, and show you can be trusted. (Source: https://www.iso.org/ )
