Information security and the need to move towards the application of standard specifications in Algerian institutions

Abstract EN

Through this study, we will try to show the need to move towards building information protection management systems through the application of the international standard ISO 27001 for Algerian institutions, and that with the massive spread of the use of information systems which led to an increase in threats to data integrity, information reliability, and the expansion of cybercrime.

we concluded that the rate of financial losses as a result of information crime exceeds the traditional crime in Algeria, and there is still a clear absence of the need to activate international standards for information protection, as the matter does not exceed the application of the quality management standard, and standards related to environmental systems, food safety, health and safety professional in a number of qualified institutions.
