The statistics indicate that e-business risks are tremendous and on the rise. Corporations, financial institutions and government agencies face threats from outside as well as inside. Respondents included 643 computer security practitioners in U.S. corporations, government agencies, financial institutions, medical institutions and universities. The companies reporting these breaches were primarily large corporations and government agencies. There is an accident waiting to happen if you do not monitor e-business security.
Internal users are just as risky as outsiders.
Network security breaches hurt the bottom line. New Internet exposures threaten your network. Companies are not ready for secure e-business. Of the respondents who admit suffering a security breach, there was significant business operations interruption and loss of reputation on top of the financial losses.
