And Another Emerges: ISO 27033

The next ISO 27000 series standard is on the starting block: ISO 27033.

On 12th July a formal note was distributed by the appropriate ISO committee (JTC 1 / SC 27) announcing a letter ballot for early revision and renumbering (to 27033) of existing standard 18028.

Obviously, this is the very start of a lengthy process, but the note also revealed the proposed structure of the new standard, which it is proposed would comprise seven parts:

1. Guidelines for network security
2. Guidelines for design/implementation of network security
3. Reference networking scenarios
4. Securing communications between networks using gateways
5. Securing remote access
6. Securing communications across networks using VPNs
7. Guidelines for securing

Momentum for the series continues to increase.
