Sun Tzu's Art of War If you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss ( 知彼知己, 百戰不殆 ). If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose ( 不知彼而知己, 一勝 一負 ). ( If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself ( 不知彼, 不知己, 每戰必殆 ).

SANS Security Salary Survey (2008) Salaries for information security professionals are high. Only 1.65% of respondents earn less than US $40,000 per year and over 38% earn US $100,000 or more per year. 81% of respondents with hiring responsibilities consider certification a factor in their hiring decisions. 41% of the respondents said their organizations use certifications as a factor when determining salary increases. Digital forensics, intrusion detection, and penetration testing are the technical topics respondents are most interested in learning in 2009.

2008 CSI Security Survey  The most expensive computer security incidents were those involving financial fraud.  Virus incidents occurred most frequently.  Almost one in ten organizations reported they’d had a Domain Name System incident.  Twenty-seven percent of those responding to a question regarding “targeted attacks.”  The vast majority of respondents (68 percent) said their organizations had a formal information security policy.

Test Your Understanding What percentage of corporations experienced at least one security incident? Name the two highest-prevalence threats, which are experienced by a majority of firms? Describe trends for the three traditional hacker attacks. Describe trends in the three low-prevalence, high-impact attacks. Why do you think companies may have a difficult time planning for low-prevalence, high-impact attacks? Describe trends for wiretapping, telecommunications eavesdropping, and telecommunications fraud. Does media coverage typically mirror the importance of threats?

CSI Security Survey 2009 Big jumps in incidence of password sniffing, financial fraud, and malware infection. One-third of respondents' organizations were fraudulently represented as the sender of a phishing message. Average losses due to security incidents are down again this year (from $289,000 per respondent to $234,244 per respondent), though they are still above 2006 figures. Twenty-five percent felt that over 60 percent of their financial losses were due to non-malicious actions by insiders. Respondents were satisfied, though not overjoyed, with all security technologies.

CSI Security Survey 2009 Investment in end-user security awareness training was inadequate, but investments in other components of their security program were adequate. Actions Taken: 22 percent - notified individuals whose personal information was breached and 17 percent - provided new security services to users or customers. Security Solutions: Use tools that would improve their visibility - better log management, security information and event management, security data visualization, security dashboards and the like. Regulatory compliance efforts have had a positive effect on their organization's security programs.
