Annually, the Government Technology & Services Coalition joins forces with InfraGard of the National Capital Region to survey our members and other private sector companies to help understand the cyber security environment, threats and trends.  We do this during Cyber Security Awareness month to bring attention to this critical homeland and national security issue and to constantly inform our products and services to help you identify, mitigate and prevent cyber attacks.

This cyber security survey was created to produce an estimate of cyber security incidents occurring in the private and non-profit sector, focusing heavily on companies operating in the Washington, D.C. region. The survey seeks to understand the private sector’s awareness, understanding, preparedness and gaps related to cyber security intrusions and attacks. The results will provide the basis for enhancing or initiating efforts to strengthen the information sharing and awareness to inform our public private partnerships and create meaningful programming and tools to combat the cyber threat.

Survey Scope: The survey collects data on the type and frequency of computer security incidents in which a computer was used as the means of committing a crime against the company or as a conduit through which other intrusion and/or criminal activity was perpetrated. It also collects data about the type and size of the company, cyber security practices, and computer infrastructure.

Reporting Period: The reporting period for this survey is calendar year 2013.

Survey Confidentiality: Your responses to this survey will be seen by individuals from the sponsoring entities who agree to uphold the confidentiality of your responses and use the information only for statistical/reporting purposes from which no individual company or entity will be identified.
