From the Paper:

"A recent report by the Computer Security Institute (CSI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reveals that of 508 companies surveyed, mostly large corporations and government agencies, 90 percent detected computer security breaches within the past twelve months (Savage, 2003). Eighty percent acknowledged financial losses due to these computer breaches. And the 223 respondents that quantified their financial damages suffered a total loss of $456 million. These statistics show the dire need for database security in both large and small companies."
