“Data
breach costs increase quickly in integration-intensive corporate IT
environments, especially where there is a proliferation of disconnected mobile
platforms. The study found the highest contributing costs associated
with a data breach are caused by third parties, compliance failures, extensive
cloud migration, system complexity, and extensive IoT, mobile and OT
environments. This reinforces that organizations need to adopt a Zero
Trust Security (ZTS) framework to
secure the multiple endpoints, apps, networks, clouds, and operating systems
across perimeter-less enterprises. Mobile devices are enterprises’ fasting
growing threat surfaces, making them one of the highest priorities for
implementing ZTS frameworks.”

These
and many other fascinating insights are from the 14th annual IBM Security Cost of a Data Breach Report, 2019. IBM and
Ponemon Institute collaborated on the report, recruiting 507 organizations that
have experienced a breach in the last year and interviewing more than 3,211
individuals who are knowledgeable about the data breach incident in their
organizations. Read more at https://lnkd.in/gk3SvHW
