2005 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey (412 kb) - The Computer Crime and Security Survey is conducted by the Computer Security Institute (CSI) with the participation of the San Francisco Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Computer Intrusion Squad. The survey is now in its 10th year and is, we believe, the longest-running continuous survey in the information security field. This year’s survey results are based on the responses of 700 computer security practitioners in U.S. corporations, government agencies, financial institutions, medical institutions and universities.

2004 E-CrimeWatch SurveyTM, Summary of Findings (276 kb) - The 2004 E-Crime Watch survey conducted among security and law enforcement executives by CSO magazine in cooperation with the United States Secret Service and the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute’s CERT® Coordination Center, shows a significant number of organizations reporting an increase in electronic crimes (e-crimes) and network, system or data intrusions. Forty-three percent (43%) of respondents report an increase in e-crimes and intrusions versus the previous year and 70% report at least one e-crime or intrusion was committed against their organization. Respondents say that e-crime cost their organizations approximately $666 million in 2003. However, 30% of respondents report their organization experienced no e-crime or intrusions in the same period.

White Papers

Value of Selective Outsourcing (159 kb) - Businesses are increasingly relying on networks, systems, applications and databases to stay competitive and enable rapid innovation. Pressure to control costs and improve performance continues while pressing strategic initiatives are competing for a company's limited IT resources.

Maximizing Results from your Investments (260 kb) - According to the Gartner Group seventy percent of all enterprise network, applications and systems management (NASM) framework investments fail.  The key reason why NASM investments do not deliver value is that enterprises cannot continue to invest effectively in the systems they’ve launched.  The tools of technology management are as complex as the systems they manage.

HIPAA Security Requirements (132 kb) - Each time a patient sees a doctor, is admitted to a hospital, goes to a pharmacist or sends a claim to a health plan, a record is made of their confidential health information. In the past, family doctors and other health care providers protected the confidentiality of those records by sealing them away in file cabinets and refusing to reveal them to anyone else.
