Some security metrics from UK
Jul 29th, 2014 by Jesper Kråkhede
Finding hard facts about breaches and statistics is quite often a cumbersome process. For this reason I have added a new key word Security metrics to tag post where I have identified valuable security metrics.
This is a report from UK with some interesting facts. 81% of large organisations had a breach during 2013 and the average cost was estimated to £600k – £1.5M for the worst breaches. The median of breaches for large organisations was 16. Even if the cost for a small breach was substantially lower it still put the cost of breaches for a company at a very high figure.
Something to think about when you ask for the budget next year.
