Maybe even 60 percent? Nope—they’ve doubled. They’ve doubled despite stricter policies for businesses that suffer from data breaches. They’ve doubled despite the fact that more and more businesses are required to meet certain levels of protection and compliance regulations. This makes it all the more important that you are prepared to prevent these kinds of breaches.
