From crimeware to hacktivism, cyber-attacks continue to evolve at an alarming pace affecting businesses of all sizes. A study has shown that attacks against SMEs have increased by 10% in the past year, costing up to 6% of their turnover.
Setting up a strong information security management system, using ISO/IEC 27001, can help organizations to protect themselves. Since the latest edition has just been published, we would like to give you the chance to ask us any questions you may have: from where to get started if you have never used the standard, to what's new in the 2013 edition.
Please send us your questions before the event using the hashtag #ISOIEC27001GH We will answer as many questions as we can during the 30 minute Hangout on 5 December.

Do I need a Google+ account to watch it?
No, you can watch the event live on youtube by clicking on the broadcast link on the event page. Having a G+ account will help make the experience more interactive, but it’s not necessary.
How can I ask a question?
Send us your questions via Twitter using the hashtag #ISOIEC27001GH – the sooner the better. You can also post your questions on the G+ event page.
Can I ask questions during the Hangout?
We will monitor Twitter and the G+ page during the event so you can still ask questions, but those submitted earlier will have priority due to time constraints (the event lasts only 30 minutes).
