Hey,

I have been trying to find facts related to information security. I am doing a presentation next week to the management team and I really, really want to catch their attention. I am looking for things like (I am making up the numbers, as an example):

- 80% of all attacks comes from inside an organization
- 75% of all web sites are vulnerable to XSS attacks
- Etc

So, do you know where I can find a reliable source for impressive facts?

Thanks!

I don't know if this helps, but try http://www.us-cert.gov/nav/t01/
That's for the technical crowd. If you go here: http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/
you can choose information on the left side of the website for your target audience.

I did a quick google search for "vulnerability statistics 2010"

This may also be a good pdf for some statistics: http://www.ic3.gov/media/annualreport/2009_IC3Report.pdf

It's 2009 though.

The OWASP site should have a plethora of web app scanning vulnerability results and statistics.

SANS has a lot of excellent courses

Also, OWASP website is very useful

I would also consider the Verizon 2009 Data Breach Investigations Report. Though I might question the purview, it has a lot of information on the breaches they encountered and corresponding mitigation. The 2010 is due out this summer and they supposedly teamed with the Secret Squirrels.
