Hello,
I have published a set of statistics concerning the results of audit, reviews
etc over the years that I and other I know have been involved with. They are
available at:
http://gse-compliance.blogspot.com/
and directly at:
http://gse-compliance.blogspot.com/2008/02/current-statistics-on-insecurity-ids.html
and
http://gse-compliance.blogspot.com/2008/02/current-statistics-on-insecurity.html
I will be adding the rest of these over the next few days.
The percentages of firewalls, NIDS and HIDS are posted already. These detail
the various industry segments from 2004 to 2007. Gaming is the best -
property/retail the worst for security.
Firewall uptake is good, but monitoring still fails (and is not yet listed).
The stats are all Australian, though several of the organisations are
multi-national and have SOX requirements.
Regards,
Dr Craig Wright (GSE-Compliance)
