The cyber security body (ISC)2 has launched an Advisory Board for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EAB). ISC-squared is an information security group.
Among the volunteers is Ionut Ionescu, global head of threat management at Betfair. He joined the betting company in May 2010; previously he was EMEA director of security services for Nortel and head of security services for Cable & Wireless in Europe.
John Colley, managing director EMEA, for (ISC)2 and co-chair of the (ISC)2 EAB, says: “The international professional security community has a significant role to play in the development of our digital society, and we are giving that community a voice through the EAB. Information security has become a top priority, with disparate strategic interest groups and government actions proliferating at a rate that risks real confusion. As the largest body behind one of the first professions to develop at an international level, we have a great opportunity to build on foundations of recognised, internationally accepted principals of practice while offering input that can be politically agnostic and relevant across national borders.”
