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.
