Businesses should not get carried away by the extremely positive findings of the latest 2006 Computer Crime and Security Survey, jointly produced by the Computer Security Institute, CSI, and the FBI, analyst firm Gartner claims. For instance, average losses from cybercrime were down for the fifth year running, falling from $204,000 in 2005 to an average of $168,000 in 2006, according to CSI. Since 2004, CSI claims, average losses from cybercrime to business have fallen by a massive 68%. Gartner has been quick to warn business the situation may not be as rosy as the 2006 report claims. One example given by Gartner is that of another recent survey by Deloitte, which contradicts CSI’s findings by claiming that over the same period security breaches at financial institutions have actually increased considerably.
