The average global cost of a data breach in 2024 is $4.88m, according to IBM. This is a 10% increase on the previous year and the highest ever.
What’s driving this is the increase in frequency and sophistication of attacks as cyber criminals take advantage of organisations which don’t prioritise cyber security and leave gaps in their defences. Plus, as the digital and communications landscape for employees continues to expand there are more entry points than before to target and manipulate.
This is why this year’s Cyber Security Awareness Month during October is critical to communicating the need for understanding and vigilance across organisations. It is a dedicated time to educate and remind your people about recognising and responding to cyber threats such as phishing and ransomware attacks.
