"Cyberattacks will provide...adversaries with new options..." -- Admiral Chris Barrie ========================================================================= Computer Crime Losses (Source: 2001 Computer Crime and Security Survey, Computer Security Institute) Copyright 2001 IOMA The Controller's Report July 2001 The cost of computer security breaches now averages more $ 2 million per affected company per year, according to a new survey of the Computer Security Institute (CSI). This survey, which explores the cost of computer crime at 538 large companies and government agencies, reveals that 85% of respondents detected security breaches in the prior12 months. Of these, 64% acknowledge financial losses from these breaches. The findings: * 35% (186 respondents) were willing and/or able to quantify their financial losses, with total losses aggregating at $ 377,828,700. In contrast, the losses at 249 respondents in CSI's 2000 survey totaled $ 265,589,940. Meanwhile, the average annual loss in CSI surveys in the three years prior to 2000 was $ 120,240,180. * As in previous years, the most serious financial losses occurred through theft of proprietary information (34 respondents reported $ 151,230,100) and financial fraud (21 respondents reported $ 92,935,500). * For the fourth year in a row, more respondents (70%) cited their Internet connection as a frequent point of attack than cited their internal systems (31%). This was up sharply from 2000, when 59% cited their Internet connections as a frequent point of attack * Respondents detected a wide range of attacks and abuses. These included: system penetration from the outside, 40% of respondents (25% in 2000); detected denial of service attacks, 38% (27% in 2000); detected employee abuse of Internet access privileges, 91% (79% in 2000). Note that these abuses included downloading pornography or pirated software, or inappropriate use of e-mail systems. ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo!
