CSI Computer Crime and Security Survey: The longest-running project of its kind in the security industry! This comprehensive survey reports on information about targeted attacks, incident response and the impacts of both malicious and non-malicious insiders. It contains details about respondents' security programs, including budgeting, policies implemented, tools used, satisfaction with security tools and budgets, degree of outsourcing, use of metrics and effects of compliance requirements. New this year, the comprehensive edition of the survey compares CSI's findings to those of the Verizon Business RISK Team Data Breach Investigations Report, the Ponemon Institute's Cost of a Data Breach report and the Symantec Global Internet Threat Report.
- Ten in-depth ALERT security reports: These detailed reports provide an in-depth look into emerging security issues and solutions; focusing well beyond weekly news stories.
