2024 In: Data Breaches Are Costlier Than Ever, But AI is a Game-Changer The latest Cost of a Data Breach Report is out, and the numbers are alarming. 🚨 The average data breach cost has hit a record high of $4.88 million, driven largely by lost business and post-breach response costs. But there's a silver lining: AI is proving to be a powerful tool in the fight against cybercrime. Organizations with extensive AI adoption are seeing significant cost savings, averaging $2.2 million less in breach costs. The IBM report underscores the urgent need for organizations to prioritize cybersecurity and leverage the power of AI. Here are some key takeaways: - The skills gap is widening. Organizations are struggling to find and retain qualified cybersecurity professionals. This skills shortage is translating into higher breach costs. - Shadow data is a hidden risk. A surprising 35% of data breaches involved shadow data, often leading to higher costs and longer recovery times. - Stolen credentials remain a major threat. Breaches involving stolen credentials are among the most time-consuming and difficult to resolve. The cybersecurity landscape is complex and ever-evolving, but AI offers a powerful solution for organizations looking to protect their data and their bottom line. #cybersecurity #databreach #AI #artificialintelligence #infosec

Cybercrimes are on the rise and the EU takes steps to fight it 🇪🇺 The escalating cost of cybercrime, projected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025, underscores the urgent need for businesses to prioritize cybersecurity. New EU regulations, like the Cyber Resilience Act and NIS2 Directive, further highlight this imperative, placing increased responsibility on businesses across various sectors. However, businesses should view these regulations not as a burden, but as an opportunity to reassess their technology and align it with their business goals and customer needs. Being proactive in cybersecurity is a legal obligation and a critical business imperative to avoid potential fines and reputational damage and ensure resilience in the face of disruptions.
