The true cost of a single cybersecurity incident
Cybersecurity incidents can have a significant financial impact on organizations, with the cost of a single incident averaging $4.3 million. This cost is even higher in the United States. Each organization faces over 1,200 cyber attacks per year, resulting in substantial losses. To effectively mitigate these threats, organizations need technology that can link cyber risk to business impact, providing context for risk decisions, prioritizing remediation efforts, and reporting to key stakeholders. Logicgate's RiskCloud Cyber Risk and Controls Compliance Solution offers the necessary capabilities for managing cyber risks effectively.
