In 2006, more than 48 million personal records were exposed according to the Data Loss Archive and Database maintained by attrition.org.
Information published by Ponemon states that data breaches have increased by 31% this year and the average cost incurred to disclosing companies is 182 dollars per compromised record.
This equates to $8.7 billion dollars in financial losses for 2006.

- IOActive hosted its RSA Con party at the hip, downtown San Francisco restaurant ROE on Tuesday, April 8. The event was very well attended and we had a great time. A big thank you to everyone who joined us!
- Dan Kaminsky delivered his Black Ops of Web 2.0: DNS Rebinding Attacks at RSA Con.
At the root of web security is the same origin policy, which allows most resources to communicate with each other only if they come from the same host name. But one name can be mapped via DNS to many IP addresses, some local and others not. The effect? You come to my page, I VPN onto your LAN. And that's only the beginning.
- Jason Larsen and Michael Hamilton, CISO for the City of Seattle, delivered Protecting the Last Mile: Information Security in Local Government at RSA Con.
In local government, information security and risk reduction controls compete with putting police on the streets and filling potholes. While there is increasing incentive for local government to create efficiencies by enabling critical technologies using Internet Protocol, this is typically carried out without the oversight applied in the private sector. The result is public safety, transportation, power, and water systems supported by unsecured technoogy.

- IOActive's inaugural IOCON Speaker Symposium featured some of the security industry's brightest minds discussing Web design review, firewalls, and securing SCADA devices. The following presentations were delivered by IOActive security consultants:
- Topic: Black Ops 2007: Design Reviewing the Web
Presenter: Dan Kaminsky
DNS rebinding is an old attack that has returned after a decade to break fundamental security assertions of the web. Dan demonstrated, without the use of any fixable vulnerability, how web browsers can be coopted to expose your internal network. < Download the PowerPoint presentation >
- Topic: Firewalls Visualized
Presenter: Damon Cortesi
Firewall rulesets are difficult to locate and rarely understood. Unfortunately, these intangible lists are the basis for some of your most important network security devices and frequently grow organically with no understanding of their overall effect. Utilizing visualization, Damon showed how to effectively analyze, review, and ultimately gain a better grasp on your network security infrastructure. < Download the PowerPoint presentation >
- Topic: Securing SCADA
Presenter: Jason Larsen
Critical infrastructure are under more threat than ever before, and historic cyber attacks were only theoretical, but SCADA hacking has now gone mainstream with presentations in open conferences. Jason described the technical aspects of hacking today's industrial control systems, who's currently attacking them, and what the near future will look like. < Download the PowerPoint presentation >
