Dr Emma Philpott met up with 2-sec CEO Tim Holman at the recent Infosec Expo at Olympia in London.
Emma is CEO of the IASME Consortium as well as Founder and Manager of the UK Cyber Security Forum. Â Emma spoke to Tim about IASME (the information assurance management standard for small companies) as well as discussing the UK Cyber Security Forum and UK Clusters.
Emma discusses the first steps a SME should take when securing their network, and where to go for further help, including the websites www.iasme.com and www.cyberstreetwise.com
Here at 2-sec, we really appreciate the importance of IASME and the Forum. The Forum and Clusters are free to join, and meet regularly together to share best cyber security practices and to provide an opportunity to network. Both organisations are doing their utmost to enable UK SMEs to develop essential infosecurity practices to ensure data and networks are kept secure.
Emma is a fount of knowledge about the cyber security challenges faced by SMEs and larger firms and we are really grateful to her for taking the time out of a (very!) busy schedule to talk to us.Â
