Webinar: Navigating cyber threats – ISO 27001 and effective security testing

Last year, cyber security took centre stage, with IT Governance’s research finding an alarming 8 billion records compromised. This surge in data breaches signals a critical juncture for organisations to reassess and reinforce their security measures.

Our webinar “Navigating cyber threats – ISO 27001 and effective security testing” will provide essential guidance on incorporating technical testing into your ISO 27001 framework and understanding its significance for organisational security.

You’ll get practical insights into the value of in-house security capabilities, adherence to ISO 27001, and the role of CyberComply in streamlining ISMS (information security management system) processes. It’s an invaluable opportunity for professionals involved with or interested in ISO 27001 certification and the Standard’s requirements for vulnerability scanning and penetration testing.

Webinar agenda:

• Integrating technical testing within the ISO 27001 framework;
• The role of ISO 27001 in security testing and the critical importance of these practices for certified organisations;
• Scoping in accordance with risk and getting value for money, emphasising how understanding risk and making informed choices is crucial for organisations with limited budgets;
• Best practices for security testing to ensure it aligns with the ISO 27001 requirements; and
• How CyberComply can streamline your cyber security processes within your ISO 27001 ISMS.
