2014 Cost of Cyber Crime Study: Global Report

The 2014 Cost of Cyber Crime Study taps the collective experience of 257
organizations in seven countries. It shows that cyber crime and its associated
cost to businesses continues to rise. But there is good news, too. Security
defenses and a strong security posture help drive down the losses.

Few Fully Prepared for Software Security Risks

Hackers penetrate organizations and steal information through vulnerabilities in
software applications. Yet less than half of IT organizations have confidence in
the security of the software that runs their businesses. And just 11 percent say
they know with confidence which applications are at risk.
