• Annotation: A deep analysis of the costs of database breaches, the Journal discusses the average cost of database breaches by comparison to budgets spent on IT departments. The findings are that the average amount spent on protecting data is usually less than the money lost during a breach, making it hard for smaller businesses to justify having an on-board IT team dedicated to preventing cyber events. As a result, the U.S. Government’s best security practices have been falling behind as it has not been easy convincing businesses to adopt them.
