I recently had a look at the most recent CSI security survey. While a lot of things have changed over the past year, one thing is definitely consistent: attacks happen. At one point, attacks on companies were as high as 70 percent (in 2000) but today we see that the reported amount is down to as low as 43 percent. What is interesting is the fact that the number that checked off the unknown box (that is, those that aren’t sure if they were compromised or not) increased to 13 percent. This is still an overall lower figure if we were to assume that they were compromised, but really, IT security professionals ought to be aware if their organization is compromised or not…
