Show Me The Money! Uncovering The True Cost of a Breach
It’s become the quintessential million dollar question, how much does a data breach cost? Unfortunately reliable open sources for answering that question are few and far between. With budgets under a microscope and resources stretched thin, being able to reasonably estimate breach costs is an import part of gaining buy-in for new security initiatives and defining acceptable levels of risk. This session will demystify the process of estimating breach costs by taking a closer look at the different factors that drive event expenses. Using real case examples taken from actual breaches, the session will break down the various elements that contribute to the cost of a breach and include ideas for calculating these expense factors. We’ll round out the session with a discussion of how the breach, along with the response effort, influences “soft” costs as well, such as reputation damage and lost business.
