ExtraHop has released a report analyzing the short- and long-term financial impacts high-profile data breaches have on publicly traded companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the findings, a data breach costs an organization $677 million on average, millions more than what has been disclosed in conventional research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expanding the scope of traditional research to date, the report triangulates a range of data sources, including SEC filings, stock performance, and quarterly earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report shows stock prices of the affected organizations dropped an average of 7% one month post-data breach – demonstrating the financial impact to not only the breached company, but shareholders too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cData breaches have profound impacts that are wildly underestimated by organizations until they find themselves in the middle of one,\u201d said Raja Mukerji, Co-founder and Chief Scientist, ExtraHop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s important for business leaders to recognize that no organization is immune to cyberattacks or the potential financial fall-out that comes with them \u2013 nor can they be too prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One breach included in the report is expected to cost the impacted organization an estimated $2.8 billion, inclusive of lost revenue, business disruption, incident response and remediation, after a threat actor gained unauthorized access to the company\u2019s systems to carry out a ransomware attack that impacted more than 100 million customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unauthorized access was the cause of nearly half of the breaches highlighted in the report, demonstrating a growing need for robust network visibility to detect and respond to suspicious behaviors quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
