Did you know ...

 

 

... that the number of vulnerabilities per year rose by 750% since 1997?

... that the number of incidences per year even rose by 3400% in the same time?

... that 350 new vulnerabilities are discovered every month?

... that 90% of all firms and organizations detected security breaches within the last 12 months?

... that 80% acknowledged financial losses due to computer breaches?

... the reported average losses per year are 2.000.000€ each?

    ... without considering the cost of non-operative time and reduction of productivity ...

    ... and not counting the damage to image, client confidence and loss of possible business opportunities?

     

"But not my company, we are not important enough for them!"

Be aware: An insignificant end-user computer on the Internet is scanned 26 times and attacked 4 times a week!

So its not anymore "the others" that are attacked ... it is sure that you have been probed, too!

 

Are you prepared?
