Instead of believing everything behind the corporate firewall is safe, an end-to-end Zero Trust strategy assumes breaches are inevitable. That means you must verify each request as if it originates from an uncontrolled network. In today’s digital age, cybercrime is on the rise, and the number of breaches experienced by businesses and individuals is only growing. As businesses and organisations become more reliant on technology, they become more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Hackers are finding new and innovative ways to gain access to data and it’s more important than ever for businesses to have robust cybersecurity measures in place. A study conducted by Accenture confirms that 68% of CTOs agree that cybersecurity risks are increasing.
Data breach prevention controls will remove the devastating financial impacts of data breaches. The financial benefits compound if the right data protection strategies are implemented. Some of the key findings from reputable studies are listed below:
- IBM found that cybersecurity automation solutions, powered by Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, help organisations respond over 27% faster to data breach events
- The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) discovered that 38% of all data breach notifications received via the Notifiable Data Breach (NDB) scheme were caused by human errors
- According to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), nearly 500 ransomware cybercrimes have been reported during the 2020-2021 financial year, an increase of nearly 15% from the previous financial year
