Insecurity Statistics.

[Craig Wright <Craig.Wright () bdo com au>]

Hello,
I have published a set of statistics concerning the results of audit, reviews etc over the years that I and other I 
know have been involved with. They are available at:
http://gse-compliance.blogspot.com/

and directly at:
http://gse-compliance.blogspot.com/2008/02/current-statistics-on-insecurity-ids.html
and
http://gse-compliance.blogspot.com/2008/02/current-statistics-on-insecurity.html

I will be adding the rest of these over the next few days.

The percentages of firewalls, NIDS and HIDS are posted already. These detail the various industry segments from 2004 to 
2007. Gaming is the best - property/retail the worst for security.

Firewall uptake is good, but monitoring still fails (and is not yet listed). The stats are all Australian, though 
several of the organisations are multi-national and have SOX requirements.

Regards,
Dr Craig Wright (GSE-Compliance)
