Cybersecurity: A raising concern
• 1,673 reported data breaches in 2015, which resulted in more than 707.5 million records being compromised worldwide.
• The British insurance company Lloyd’s estimates that cyber attacks cost businesses as much as $400 billion a year
• Malware attacks in 2015 nearly doubled to reach up to 8.19 billion, from 4.2 billion in 2014
• 41% of IT personnel admitted to not following the same security protocols they are expected to enforce
• 1 in 8 legitimate websites have a critical vulnerability
