The Abu Dhabi Securities Market (ADSM) aims at becoming the first UAE exchange to achieve ISO 17799, said Khalfan Al Mazrouei, IT Manager of ADSM. According to WAM, ISO 17799 is a set of controls that includes best practices in information security. It is an internationally recognized security standard with ten primary sections - security policy, system access control, computer & operations management, system development and maintenance, physical and environmental security, compliance, personnel security, security organisation, asset classification and control and business continuity management.
As ADSM continues to grow at a rapid pace, international IT security standards have never been more important, explained Mr. Al Mazrouei
