ABSTRACT
The data from the 2005 CSI/FBI crime report paints a
grim picture of the state of network security:
The damage from virus attacks continues to be the highest overall cost to organizations.
Unauthorized access had a dramatic increase in cost and has now replaced denial of service (DoS) attacks as
the new second-most significant contributor to losses
from computer crime
Although the overall losses are perhaps lower, there has been a measurable increase in the losses associated
with unauthorized access to information and the theft
of proprietary information.
