InfoSec and BERR
At InfoSec 2008 in Olympia yesterday I helped launch the results of Department for Business & Enterprise Regulatory Reform 2008 Information Security Breaches Survey. This is a study carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers and sponsored by a number of vendors including Symantec.
The results are promising and gloomy at the same time. The good news is that the number of companies infected by malicious software is down by 60%. The bad news is that minor infections are no longer considered a security incident and so not reported - they are just seen as an everyday occurance that the IT department needs to resolve. While the acknowledgement that anti-virus is no longer the only requirement for endpoint protection and anti-spyware and malware in general is required is good news, there is also a concern among businesses that the more silent and stealthy attacks are going to increase.
Below is a picture of me and the team at InfoSec launching the Interactive Theatre.
