This is what is reported by a recent NetworkWorld article, based on the findings of a Ponemon Survey:
“The average cost of a data breach is £47 ($94) per compromised record, according to a path breaking survey from the Ponemon Institute.
For security blunders in the financial services sector, that cost rises to £55 per compromised record.
Lost or stolen laptops and mobile devices account for most data breaches in the U.K., according to the research … Thirty six per cent of data breaches resulted from lost and stolen laptops or other mobile devices.”
This says a lot about current practices, in terms of storing data and protecting it. The remaining part of the article provides additional details on the impact this has on businesses and end users.
