Interoperability standards for information technology security

Today, the global digital economy is growing in complexity and scale, with the result that commercial and governmental organisations are confronted daily by a multifaceted and threatening security landscape. As the number of high-profile security breaches escalates, organisations are becoming more concerned about data security, especially as the requirement to transmit data beyond their security perimeter increases. Attacks on critical national infrastructure (CNI), healthcare organisations, financial institutions and industry will become the norm, with the consequences of such breaches potentially catastrophic.
