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, 2013 at 4:04

2You'll probably find the Symantec threat report helpful: symantec.com/threatreport– makerofthings7Jan 13, 2013 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, 2013 at 21:02

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, 2013 at 19:46
I'll add to this as I check for relevancy.
- FireEye + Mandiant
- Advanced Threat Report (2015): key findings (press release)
- CrowdStrike
- Global Threat Intel Report (Feb-2015). Numbers are sparse but charts are estimable.
- Intelligence reports and data in the adversary lineup section of the site are over these adversaries and target industries.
- Palo Alto Networks
- Data breach frequency article links to Identity Theft Resource Center Data Breach Reports (2015)
- Krebs on Security
- An entire section of articles on data breaches.
- DataLossDB
- Charts with basic adjustment. Broken down by a few categories such as incidents, business types, data type. May require licensing.
- Breach Level Index
- Home tab has mass statistics, recency and global scope with useful search at the database tab.
- Infographics
- Top 5 Most Compromised Merchant Categories with summary spend
I did a presentation on the exact same thing last year. I found Zone-H.org to be a good source.
