One of the biggest risks that enterprises face is a data breach. This type of cybercrime can even lead to bankruptcy—and it shows no signs of slowing down.

In fact, a 2019 report by IBM Security and Ponemon found that in five years, the average cost of a data breach has increased by 12%. That’s a whopping $3.92 million worldwide. Of that amount, enterprises lose up to $1.42 million, or 36% of the global average. For small to medium-sized businesses, breaches average to $2.5 million.

The costs of detecting and responding to a breach can include:

Expert personnel – $1.22 million

Customer notification – $0.21 million

Post-breach response – $1.07 million
