There are two new reports out for general consumption.

I haven’t had a chance to read the Cisco 2010 Midyear Security Report yet, but it should be worth a read. There is a focus on more IT centric technologies as well as a look at spam and the trends there of.

Another document out for review is the 2010 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. This was a very good read last year and certainly the sections I have read have been very interesting. While I’m a little confused as to how they gathered their samples the results still prove to be very useful.

The interesting point for this years DBR is that they have included samples from the United States Secret Service breach data. While this may “skew” the output, Verizon believe it gives a more “real world” representation.

So there you have it, two reports to read through. Please get in touch and let us know what you think.
