These statistics only relate to information collated by Janet CSIRT and do not provide an accurate sample of security activity across the research and education sectors.

#tfcsirt
In a world where data storage is almost unlimited and algorithms promise to interrogate data to answer any question, it's tempting for security teams to simply follow a "log everything, for ever" approach.
