72% of threats from OUTSIDE

Submitted by Kai on Thu, 2007-07-12 10:00.

Rob Newby, an Englishman in Spain, and one of my valued sources and bloggers, has a track record of miss believing the statistics from the security industry claiming 72% of threats are from the inside.

Now he do get statistical evidence too - there is no longer only something he believes - as Walter Conway came to his rescue with statistics from the past 7 years. And the numbers are interesting, but not surprising IMO. However, they are great to show in the face of your next security salesperson who tries to bullsh*t you to get an order.

The report from Walter is available for download. Robs comments and insights are invaluable. Enjoy!
