VIRUSES DRIVE BREACHES TO NEARLY $1.4 TRILLION IN COSTS

Posted on September 24, 2001

      A new PricewaterhouseCoopers survey indicates that global corporations suffered more than $1.39 trillion in lost revenue due to security breaches this past year.

      A majority of those losses stem from the rapid growth in computer viruses and denial-of-service attacks, which together account for 60 percent of lost productivity among thousands of survey respondents.

      The top security breach reported was against operating systems.

      The survey includes a global database of approximately 4,500 survey responses from technology professionals in 50 countries. Figures include data from surveys released by other companies and media.
