Help Protect Your Company from a Data Breach

According to The Ponemon Institute in its annual study, the average cost of a data breach is roughly $3.86 million USD, or an average of $148 USD per data record stolen1 . This number has increased from the previous year’s report, showing that breaches are growing costlier to businesses that get successfully attacked. Perhaps even scarier, the report claims that the mean time to identify a breach was 197 days. That’s almost 200 days that a cybercriminal can have access to someone’s data.

If businesses want to avoid ending up on the wrong side of a breach, they will likely need to increase their security measures, particularly around threat detection.
