Questions

How many cybersecurity statistics are in the database?

Over 13,000 hand-curated statistics from 593 publishers, growing by 50 to 100 each week as new reports publish.

Where do the statistics come from?

Each statistic is taken by hand from a published report (Verizon, IBM, Mandiant, ENISA, CISA, the UK Government and hundreds more) and carries its publisher, report name, date, and a link to the original.

How current are the statistics?

New statistics are added weekly. This page and every topic page render from the database, and each statistic shows its date.

How should I cite a statistic?

Cite the original publisher and report, not this site. Both are shown with every statistic, along with a link to the original so you can check the figure in context.
