Business and government organizations around the world are continuing to invest
in network security with good reason: cyber crime is one of the fastest growing
threats to the continuity of their operations. A worldwide survey commissioned
by McAfee estimates that the damage from data loss exceeded one trillion dollars
in 2008. And in January, 2010, the Open Security Foundation reported that more
than 218 million personal identity records were lost or stolen globally in 2009.
