BreachBytes

Robert Vamosi has a nice overview of two recent reports on his Defense in Depth blog, the first on data breaches and the second on identity theft. The interesting figures from both reports: 9/10 breaches could have been prevented by following best practices and 57% of identity thieves use the information to open new lines of credit (not too surprising).

A summary of the Verizon report on data breaches is available here while the entire report can be found here as a PDF. Likewise, a summary of the identity theft report can be found here and the full version here as a PDF.

Net/FSE has received coverage from IT Network World Canada posting it to their available downloads.  And in regard to our not returning their call, yes we have returned their call (albeit a little late).
