Data breaches are becoming increasingly expensive
In 2018, 33 zettabytes of data were generated globally, and this figure is predicted to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025.
According to the Breach Level Index, nearly 13.5 billion data records have been lost or stolen in the last six years. In the first six months of 2018 alone, 3.3 billion data records were exposed.
IBM Security and the Ponemon Institute recently published the 2018 Cost of a Data Breach Study, providing a global overview of data breach costs and impacts. The study surveyed over 2,200 IT, data protection, and compliance professionals from 477 companies that experienced breaches in 2017. Findings revealed that data breaches remain extremely costly and increasingly damaging, underscoring the importance of professional IT asset disposition services.
