Talk Description: The Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023
Get insights to better manage the risk of a data breach The Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023, now in its 18th year, delivers essential insights to help security and IT teams better manage risk and limit potential losses.

- How breaches are identified: whether by an organization’s own security team, a benign third party such as law enforcement, or the attacker
- How security AI and automation reduced cost and response times
- The financial and time impact of involving law enforcement in responding to a ransomware attack.
- The effects on cost and time of resources including security information and event monitoring, attack surface management and threat intelligence.
- and more!
This is your opportunity to get the most up-to-date information on the financial implications of data breaches, including by industry and geography, and learn how to safeguard your organization’s reputation and bottom line.
