Comprehensive Data Breach Risk Report
According to the latest Breach Level Index
report, there were 918 reported data breaches and almost 1.9 billion compromised data
records worldwide in the first half of 2017. Despite extensive coverage on these breaches and
widespread panic among both consumers and companies, too many organizations are still not doing
enough to protect themselves and their customers. The numbers of breaches occurring, and the
numbers of records being stolen for malicious purposes, are not decreasing. Instead, there was a
13% increase in the number of breaches over the first six months of 2016, and, even more
troublingly, malicious theft was the motive driving three quarters of data breaches, an increase
of 49% compared the second half of 2016.
Data Breach Risk
Data breaches happen unexpectedly and unknowingly. While the worst offenders are organizations who do little or nothing to protect their customers' information, there is a disturbingly significant contingent of organizations that cross their proverbial fingers and hope they've done enough to secure their data, without really knowing whether they have. This leads to an explosive and reactive situation, in which just a single click of a button can expose your small business's most valuable data across thousands of networks. Businesses across a wide range of industry sectors are at risk of experiencing devastating financial losses and irreparable harm to their reputations as a result of cyberattacks and data breaches.
