The Computer Security Institute (www.gocsi.com) does an annual survey in
cooperation with the FBI that covers this information.  If you receive
email notice of other sources, please let me know.

I often hear statistics bandied around like 85% of attacks are internal.
Can anyone point to a reliable/quotable source of stats?  I'd like to prove
to my cynical managment that we are not safe behind the corporate

Also, I'd be interested in stats on amout of money lost to fraud, downtime,
hacking, lack of DR etc.

Thanks

Jack
