 | In a recent study conducted by the Ponemon Institute, 90 percent of respondents indicated that they have had two or more breaches in the past 12 months, and nearly two-thirds responded that they have had multiple breaches during the same period of time. These breaches can be incredibly expensive. Studies show that the average cost per incident of a data breach in the United States is $7.2 million, with one of the largest breaches costing $35.3 million to resolve. Security lapses involving personal information can also erode consumer trust; more than half of Internet users avoid buying online because they're afraid that their financial information might be stolen. With stakes so high, organizations need to focus their security efforts to prevent these and other breaches. Request Free! |
