21. How to Use… How to Use… Average losses in a survey of about 500 security professionals were down for the third straight year. While this is good news (paying attention to security seems to reduce crime), it’s also true that identity fraud—the costs of which aren’t directly measured in this survey—are skyrocketing.

33. Anecdotes Make Stats Real Anecdotes Make Stats Real The number of bot-infected computers declined from 30,000+ a day in July to an average of less than 5,000 a day by December, according to Symantec. (The Register) The [Honeynet Project] report pointed out that "more than one million hosts are compromised and can be controlled by malicious attackers" although it warned that this was a probable underestimate. The company also made an estimate as to the scope of distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks. In the tracking period, from November 2004 to January 2005, Honeynet detected a staggering 226,585 IP addresses joining at least one of the channels being monitored. (Techworld.com)

34. Anecdotes Make Stats Real Anecdotes Make Stats Real an executive at a satellite TV firm in Massachusetts has been charged with hiring several botnets to disrupt the websites of three rivals, costing one of their web-hosting firms $1 million. (New Scientist.com)

35. Tie to Policy Tie to Policy Obviously, anyone acting like this executive would be dismissed and possibly criminally prosecuted Policies used to “lock down” systems are in part in place to prevent your system from becoming a “bot.” If your system is compromised, it may be used to perpetrate crimes.

36. Takeaways Takeaways Use believable stats – explain important elements such as sample skew Graphic representations of comparison stats are often easier to interpret

37. Takeaways Takeaways Keep it positive (for the most part) Relate statistics to anecdotes, then tie to policies.
