The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD)’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has released updates to the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) in a bid to help all Australian businesses create a framework and set of principles to protect their information systems and networks from cyberattack.
The information Security Manual is founded on four main principals of cybersecurity.
- Govern
- Protect
- Detect
- Respond.
These four principles provide the backbone of any cyber efforts and contain the framework from which an effective cyber resilience strategy can be created
The ISM also contains a series of guidelines on practical steps to take to secure information networks and data and should be referred to when creating a strategy for cyber resilience and cybersecurity.
