Industry Quotables
  • Reusing a computer saves five to 20 times more energy than recycling it.
    — Cleveland Plain Dealer

  • Almost seven out of 10 companies-68 percent-are losing sensitive data or having it stolen out from under them six times a year. An additional 20 percent are losing sensitive data a whopping 22 times or more per year.
    — IT Policy Compliance Group

  • Every year, an estimated 400 million units of obsolete electronics are scrapped. By 2010, this figure will rise to three billion units annually.
    — Green Citizen

  • Federal government researchers estimate 75 percent of all computers ever sold in the United States are still sitting somewhere, waiting to be thrown out.
    — Chicago Tribune

  • Only 10 percent to 15 percent of electronics are currently recycled, industry analysts say. The rest collects dust in people's homes or gets dumped into municipal landfills, where environmentalists worry toxic chemicals can leak out.
    — USA Today

  • Businesses are more concerned about data security than any other threat, including terrorism. Topping the list of crisis situations that worry corporate executives is compromise of corporate information systems, cited by 61 percent.
    — Harris Interactive

  • Insider threats, including inattentive, complacent or untrained employees, as well as security lapses by contractors or outsourcing companies, represent the most important risks facing state IT networks, according to the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO). In 2006, about 80 percent of publicized data breaches came from organizational threats instead of outside threats, and in 2005, more than half were attributed to insider threats.
    — CIO

  • A laptop is stolen every 53 seconds in the United States, 97 percent are never recovered and each laptop contains data worth around $972,000.
    — Symantec

  • A report from Forrester Research estimated breaches have cost companies between $90 and $305 per lost record, including notifying customers, hiring contractors to fix computer systems, fines and lost business.
