Director-General, SON, Mallam Farouk Salim, made this known in a report generated from the agency’s certification validation exercise made available to newsmen on Friday in Lagos.

Salim said obtaining the certification was to checkmate hacking and other cyber crimes which had led to huge financial losses, worth over N200 billion annually. He added that the effort was part of SON’s commitment to sanitising the IT industry through training and implementation of the International Organisation for Standardisation’s standards.

Salim said the validation of the ISO 27001 ISMS course was part of the organisation’s effort to guarantee confidence in its ability to offer full training and certification packages to the Nigerian IT industry. He added that the validation course would, amongst others, provide the organisation with holistic and strategic packages to boost reliability and efficiency through the regulatory agencies and professional bodies.
