Statistics where hacking is anxious are tricky to come by for a couple of reasons. First, most corporations don't love to admit that they've been hacked. Such an admission can end up in public comeback and loss of trust among a corporation's customer base, so generally, only the very highest profile cases make the news .
Second, because often, unless the intent of the hacker was to outright destroy information, the successful incursion may never be perceived at all, or if it is eventually detected, it might be weeks, months, or perhaps longer before anyone in the company even knows about it, far less finds out what info was viewed, copied, or taken.
Taken together, this makes gathering stats on the number of hacking attempts worldwide a pretty daunting task, but the best information we have on the subject indicates that a successful hacking attempt happens about each 20 seconds. By the time you finish reading this brief article on the topic, half a dozen or even more firms will have been hacked, and of course, that only guesstimates the successful incursions.
Unsuccessful attempts are vastly more common, and happen at a rate many times higher than the rate of successful breeches, which begs for the question to get asked : How safe is your system? How safe is your firm's data? How assured are you feeling in the network security you have prepared to counter all but the most determined attacks?
Perhaps it is a thing you've not spent much time considering, and if that is the case, and if your company's web portal and your network as a whole are of some import to you, then I'd prompt you to have an independent analysis done as fast as you can, and at least one time a year afterward. Once every 20 seconds. Do not let the subsequent victim be you.
