Results from the 2004 Computer Crime and Security Survey indicate that theft of intellectual property was the second most expensive computer crime, with denial of service (DOS) being number one. The survey found a "noticeable downturn" in the percentage of companies reporting intrusions to law enforcement, with companies citing concern over negative publicity as a reason. The study noted the availability of cybersecurity insurance despite the shortage of actuarial data, but found that 72% of respondents did not have cybersecurity insurance. The results include data from 494 survey participants and are available at the Computer Security Institute (CSI). Now in its ninth year, The Survey is conducted by CSI with the participation of the San Francisco Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Computer Intrusion Squad. The survey results are free in PDF format with registration.
