I am putting together a security presentation, and I would like statistics on the occurrence of and damages from security breaches. Does anyone know of a reliable, recently-updated source?

See also security.stackexchange.com/q/12041/836 which asks for statistics that were particular to MITM attacks. – Jeff Ferland♦ Jan 13 at 4:04

You'll probably find the Symantec threat report helpful: symantec.com/threatreport – makerofthings7 Jan 13 at 5:08
@makerofthings7 The Symantec report is clear, well-organized and didn't require me to register for anything. Thanks! – Sean W. Jan 18 at 21:02

http://datalossdb.org/statistics - truly opensource and not marketing-driven data.

The sources they get the data from (state governments) are open, but one must request permission to use their compiled data and charts. Too bat it's not under a Creative Commons license. – Sean W. Jan 18 at 19:46

I did a presentation on the exact same thing last year. I found Zone-H.org to be a good source.
