Good morning,

Today McAfee released the findings of a study on the security of
information economies. Titled "Undeground Economies," the report found
that, among other conclusions, only three in 10 organizations surveyed
report all data breaches and that 62 per cent still perceive securing
mobile devices as a challenge.

For Immediate Release

McAfee and SAIC Study Shows Corporate Intellectual Capital is the
Newest Cybercrime Currency

Companies are Spending US$1 Million a Week to Secure Sensitive
Information

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and McLean, VA - March 28, 2011 - McAfee and
Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) [NYSE:SAI] today
announced findings from a global study on the security of information
economies. In the study, “Underground Economies: Intellectual Capital
and Sensitive Corporate Data Now the Latest Cybercrime Currency,”
security experts and senior IT decision makers illustrate how
cybercriminals have made the shift from stealing personal information to
targeting the corporate intellectual capital of some of the most
well-known global organizations. Cybercriminals understand there is
greater value in selling a corporation’s proprietary information and
trade secrets, which have little to no protection, and are making
intellectual capital their new currency of choice.

The cyber underground economy is making its money on the theft of
corporate intellectual capital which includes trade secrets, marketing
plans, research and development findings and even source code. McAfee
and SAIC collaborated with Vanson Bourne to survey more than 1,000
senior IT decision makers in the U.S., U.K., Japan, China, India, Brazil
and the Middle East. The study is a follow up to a report released in
2008 called “Unsecured Economies.” The new study reveals the changes
in attitudes and perceptions of intellectual property protection in the
last two years. The findings revealed which countries were perceived as
the least safe to store corporate data, the rate at which organizations
are experiencing breaches and the response rate to prevent or remediate
data breaches.

“Cybercriminals have shifted their focus from physical assets to data
driven properties, such as trade secrets or product planning
documents,” said Simon Hunt, vice president and chief technology
officer, endpoint security at McAfee. “We’ve seen significant
attacks targeting this type of information. Sophisticated attacks, such
as Operation Aurora, and even unsophisticated attacks like Night Dragon,
have infiltrated some of the largest, and seemingly most protected
corporations in the world. Criminals are targeting corporate
intellectual capital and they are often succeeding.”

“The distinction between insiders and outsiders is blurring,” said
Scott Aken, vice president for cyber operations at SAIC.
“Sophisticated attackers infiltrate a network, steal valid
credentials on the network, and operate freely - just as an insider
would. Having defensive strategies against these blended insider threats
is essential, and organizations need insider threat tools that can
predict attacks based on human behaviour.”

Key findings from this year’s report include the following:

●       Impact of Data Breaches - A quarter of organizations have had a
merger/acquisition or a new product/solution roll-out stopped or slowed
by a data breach, or the credible threat of a data breach. If an
organization experienced a data breach, only half of those organizations
took steps to remediate and protect systems from future breaches.

●       Organizations Are Looking to Store Intellectual Property Abroad
- The economic downturn has resulted in an increase of organizations
re
assessing the risks of processing data outside their home country in
search of cheaper options, with approximately half of organizations
surveyed responding they would do so, an overall increase since 2008.
Approximately one third of organizations are looking to increase the
amount of sensitive information they store abroad, up from one fifth two
years ago.

●       Cost of securing data abroad - In China, Japan, the U.K. and the
U.S., organizations are spending more than US$1 million a day on their
IT. In the U.S., China, and India, organizations are spending more than
US$1 million per week on securing sensitive information abroad.

●       Geographic Threat Perceptions to Intellectual Property - China,
Russia and Pakistan are perceived to be the least safe for data storage,
and the U.K., Germany and the U.S. are perceived to be the most safe. Of
the global organizations surveyed however, a large number are not
conducting frequent risk assessments, with more than a quarter of
organizations assessing the threats or risks posed to their data only
twice a year or less.

●       Organizations Keeping Quiet about Data Breaches - Only three in
10 organizations report all data breaches suffered and six in 10
organizations currently “pick and choose” the breaches they report.
The report also shows that organizations may seek out countries with
more lenient disclosure laws, with eight in 10 organizations that store
sensitive information abroad influenced by privacy laws requiring
notification of data breaches to customers.

●       Device Management a Current Challenge - One of the greatest
challenges organizations face when managing information security is the
proliferation of devices, such as iPads, iPhones and Androids. Securing
mobile devices continues to be a pain point for most organizations, with
62 per cent of respondents identifying this as a challenge.
Concurrently, the report shows the most significant threat reported by
organizations when protecting sensitive information is data leaks.
