    I often hear statistics bandied around like 85% of attacks are internal.
    Can anyone point to a reliable/quotable source of stats? I'd like to prove
    to my cynical managment that we are not safe behind the corporate
    firewall...

    Also, I'd be interested in stats on amout of money lost to fraud, downtime,
    hacking, lack of DR etc.

    Thanks

    Jack
