Information technology — Security techniques — Network security — Part 1: Overview and concepts
ISO/IEC 27033-1:2015 provides an overview of network security and related definitions. It defines and describes the concepts associated with, and provides management guidance on, network security. (Network security applies to the security of devices, security of management activities related to the devices, applications/services, and end-users, in addition to security of the information being transferred across the communication links.) It is relevant to anyone involved in owning, operating or using a network. This includes senior managers and other non-technical managers or users, in addition to managers and administrators who have specific responsibilities for information security and/or network security, network operation, or who are responsible for an organization's overall security program and security policy development. It is also relevant to anyone involved in the planning, design and implementation of the architectural aspects of network security. ISO/IEC 27033-1:2015 also includes the following: - provides guidance on how to identify and analyse network security risks and the definition of network security requirements based on that analysis, - provides an overview of the controls that support network technical security architectures and related technical controls, as well as those non-technical controls and technical controls that are applicable not just to networks, - introduces how to achieve good quality network technical security architectures, and the risk, design and control aspects associated with typical network scenarios and network "technology" areas (which are dealt with in detail in subsequent parts of ISO/IEC 27033), and briefly addresses the issues associated with implementing and operating network security controls, and the on-going monitoring and reviewing of their implementation. Overall, it provides an overview of this International Standard and a "road map" to all other parts.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction
and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee
SC 27, Security techniques.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 27033-1:2009), which have been

Introduction
In today’s world, the majority of both commercial and government organizations have their information
systems connected by networks (see Figure 1), with the network connections being one or more of the
following:
— within the organization,
— between different organizations,
— between the organization and the general public.

Further, with the rapid developments in publicly available network technology (in particular with
the Internet) offering significant business opportunities, organizations are increasingly conducting
electronic business on a global scale and providing online public services. The opportunities include the
provision of lower cost data communications, using the Internet simply as a global connection medium,
through to more sophisticated services provided by Internet service providers (ISPs). This can mean the
use of relatively low cost local attachment points at each end of a circuit to full scale online electronic
trading and service delivery systems, using web-based applications and services. Additionally, the new
technology (including the integration of data, voice and video) increases the opportunities for remot
