I was just reading through that Verizon report on Tuesday (while researching my own report on IT security for <a href="http://www.pcis.com/about.html" rel="nofollow">PCIS</a>). The report's findings underscore a larger trend of organizations not taking IT security seriously. Did you see that report from Canada's Privacy Commissioner showing that about 90 per cent of companies aren't doing anything meaninggul at all about security? Commenting from another part of the IT security industry, Web application security breaches have become a significant part of the problem (Up to 75 per cent of cyber-criminal attacks are against the web application layer). <a href="http://www.boonbox.net/devfense.htm?ABS" rel="nofollow">Web security audits</a> to check for vulnerabilities are available, and in time they'll become a standard part of every company's security plan, along with solutions like the Computrace LoJack for Laptops). Incidentally, there's an excellent blog post on the web aspect of IT security on Vaclav's Blog, <a href="http://www.pcis.com/web/vvblog.nsf/dx/06122008033044PMVVIUEJ.htm" rel="nofollow">Is Your Website Safe</a>.
