According to the 2009 Verizon Business Data Breach Investigations Report, more electronic records were breached in 2008 than the previous four years combined. 99 percent of all breached records were compromised from servers and applications. The average severity of a breach in 2008 was ranked as 5.6 on a ten-point scale, up from 5.3 in 2007 and 4.8 in 2006. Even though the severity of breaches is on the increase, most organizations continue to rely on traditional tools — such as firewalls and antivirus suites.”]
