The Information Security Awareness Forum Blog
ISAF
ISAF Blogger
ISAF, the Information Security Awareness Forum, is a partnership between all the most influential groups and industry bodies in the UK associated with information security. It was formed to tackle one of the biggest problems facing organisations and individuals, that of a lack of information security awareness with people either not knowing about, ignoring or circumventing security processes and technical countermeasures. Lack of awareness has been the main cause of some of the most impactful security incidents in the UK in the last 12 months whether as a result of HMRC sending inadequately protected discs containing millions of peoples sensitive data in the post, the MOD leaving a lap top in a car with hundreds of thousands of confidential data records on it, TJX transmitting millions of credit card transactions over an open wireless network, or individuals simply replying to phishing emails. In light of so many breaches associated with lack of wareness, the Information Security Awareness Forum was established as a cross industry initiative dedicated to improving information security awareness by pooling the expertise and resources of the participating organisations. In this Blog, several members of the Forum will not only aim to increase awareness (of information security) but will discuss how best to go about the task given that there are a lot of differing situations to address such as the home worker, parents, children, small businesses and large enterprises. The ISAF participating organisations are found in the associations and accreditations section of this portal.
