CSI is perhaps best known for the annual CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey that it began to conduct in 1996 in collaboration with the San Francisco Federal Bureau of Investigation's Computer Intrusion Squad and researchers from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.[3][4][5] The FBI disappeared from the title of the study between the 2006 and 2007 reports. The 15th annual survey, which turned out to be the last, was released in 2011, and is available to the general public at Information Week.
In 2011, CSI was absorbed by UBM,[7] although no mention of this appears on the UBM Wikipedia page yet. As of September 2014, the original CSI website returns a 404 File Not Found error. However, snapshots of the website can be found on the WayBack Time Machine.[8]
Computer security, cybersecurity, or information technology security is the protection of computer systems and networks from attack by malicious actors that may result in unauthorized information disclosure, theft of, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
An intrusion detection system is a device or software application that monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations. Any intrusion activity or violation is typically reported either to an administrator or collected centrally using a security information and event management (SIEM) system. A SIEM system combines outputs from multiple sources and uses alarm filtering techniques to distinguish malicious activity from false alarms.

Laptop theft is a significant threat to users of laptop and netbook computers. Many methods to protect the data and to prevent theft have been developed, including alarms, laptop locks, and visual deterrents such as stickers or labels. Victims of laptop theft can lose hardware, software, and essential data that has not been backed up. Thieves also may have access to sensitive data and personal information. Some systems authorize access based on credentials stored on the laptop including MAC addresses, web cookies, cryptographic keys and stored passwords.
