Taking risks can benefit you in some areas of life. However, it’s better to play it safe where cybersecurity is concerned. Otherwise, you could find yourself dealing with a data breach that tarnishes your company’s reputation and comes with a hefty price tag: The average global cost of a data breach in 2020 is $3.86 million, according to IBM.
Although many of us put our plans on hold this year because of the pandemic, the global health crisis hasn’t slowed cybercriminals down. Just take a look at this long list of the most notable data breaches and hacks of 2020 so far from ZDNet. Staying on top of IT security remains imperative for business leaders around the world and across all industries.
