Data extracted from 2014 Global Report on the Cost of Cyber Crime, published by the Ponemon Institute
No Decrease in Cyber Attacks
“…..In our studies we look at 9 different attack vectors as the source of
the cyber crime. This year, the benchmark sample of 257 organizations
experienced 429 discernible cyber attacks or 1.6 attacks per company
each week. The list below shows the number of successful attacks for
the past three years, which has steadily increased.”
• FY 2014, 429 attacks in 257 organizations or 1.7 successful attacks per
company each week
• FY 2013, 343 attacks in 234 organizations or 1.4 successful attacks per
company each week
• FY 2012, 262 attacks in 199 organizations or 1.3 successful attacks per
company each week

Embracing Big Data – People, Process & Technology
•A new attitude by businesses, non-profits, government
agencies, and individuals that combining data from multiple
sources could lead to better decisions.
•An all-encompassing term for any collection of data sets so
large and complex that it becomes difficult to process them
using traditional data processing applications.
•Volume; Variety; Velocity; Variability; Veracity; Value
Big Data
•The practice of defending information from unauthorized
access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, perusal,
inspection, recording or destruction. It is a general term that
can be used regardless of the form the data
•Cornerstone concepts in the variety of definitions –
Confidentiality, Integrity & Availability
