Addressing security in an enterprise's IT infrastructure is paramount
to profitability and success. According to Ponemon Institute's
2017 report, the average cost of an enterprise data breach is $3.62
million, representing $141 per lost or stolen record. In addition,
immeasurable damage will occur owing to the loss of trust or
reputation, customer churn, and reduced shareholder value, not to
mention the cost of subsequent remediation actions or penalties.
