📊 The cost of data breaches continues to soar. In 2024, the global average cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million, a 10% increase from last year. Why the rise? Organizations with fragmented or poorly managed data systems are more vulnerable to breaches, leading to higher financial losses and serious damage to their reputations. 💡 It's a reminder for all of us to re-evaluate how we handle data and invest in robust security measures to mitigate these growing risks. https://lnkd.in/gg4WQVC #CyberSecurity #CSAM #RiskManagement #DataProtection #BusinessContinuity #DataBreach
