ISMG Corporate History
 Back in 2006, the founders of ISMG saw a need for an independent source for unbiased information on compliance, governance, fraud, audit, information technology, and risk management related topics specifically geared towards vertical industries. Information Security Media Group was founded to address this immediate need.
BankInfoSecurity.com was launched to address this need for the financial services sector.
Since the BankInfoSecurity.com site was released in 2006, ISMG has consistently added products to meet the growing needs of its subscriber base. In early 2007, based on the demand from the original subscribers, a site specifically catering to the Credit Union sector - CUInfoSecurity.com - was released.
Two years later, early in 2009, a new President was elected in the United States who vowed to bring information technology/security to the forefront of his priorities. As a result ISMG launched a government-focused website GovInfoSecurity.com.
Fast-forward another year, to early 2010, where a major shift happening in the healthcare industry to electronic medial records has prompted vigorous attention to be paid to security and privacy matters. ISMG launched HealthcareInfoSecurity.com at this time as legislators, regulators, practitioners, and patients are focusing on strengthening healthcare information security.
ISMG has enjoyed participation on its content and events from industry professionals and the regulatory agencies since the early days of BankInfoSecurity.com. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC), Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and many government agencies and healthcare organizations are among those who have participated in events organized by ISMG on a range of information security topics. |
