Jan 2002 - based on
- Hundreds of organizations used for observation points
- 50 million attack attempts (not including viruses)
- Includes pre and post 9/11/01 data
Some of the major results
- Attack levels did not change across 9/11/01
- Attacks vs. critical infrastructures from Middle East
  - Specifically vs. energy sector
- Attacks are most often not random scans
  - They focus on a previously identified target
  - They drill down against it - depth over breadth
