DDI was founded in 2003 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our team is comprised of professionals from both the private and public sectors. Our experts have many years of combined investigative and computer forensic experience. In addition, many have served in a law enforcement capacity as well as in the “Big 4” arena. Leveraging our experience and expertise is a key component to serving our clients and exceeding their expectations.
The Problem
“Computers are getting faster, smaller, cheaper, and easier to use. As a result, we have low-tech people committing high-tech crimes”
It is a fact that we are seeing an increase in the misuse of computers and networks. In a survey conducted by the Computer Security Institute (CSI)
- Overall financial losses from 530 survey respondents totaled $201,797,340. This is down significantly from 503 respondents reporting $455,848,000 last year. (75 percent of organizations acknowledged financial loss, though only 47% could quantify them.)
- The overall number of significant incidents remained roughly the same as last year, despite the drop in financial losses.
- Losses reported for financial fraud were drastically lower, at $9,171,400. This compares to nearly $116 million reported last year.
- As in prior years, theft of proprietary information caused the greatest financial loss ($70,195,900 was lost, with the average reported loss being approximately $2.7 million).
- In a shift from previous years, the second-most expensive computer crime among survey respondents was denial of service, with a cost of $65,643,300--up 250 percent from last year's losses of $18,370,500. (Source: www.gocsi.com)
