Finally got a chance to read the 2006 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey.

It’s definitely worth scanning through. There are some interesting findings:

  • Regulatory compliance related to information security is among the most critical security issues customers face.
  • Virus attacks continue to be the source of the greatest financial losses. ($15.7 mil)
  • Unauthorized access continues to be second-greatest source of financial losses. (10.6 mil)

It’s also interesting that e-mail and web activity are used by over 50% of the organizations as effective security techniques. (page 17)

Not surprisingly, data protection is cited as the most critical security issue for the companies for the next two years. (page 24)
