Symantec and the Ponemon Institute have joined forces to unveil the findings of the fourth annual study, UK Cost of a Data Breach. This in depth study - based on the actual data breach experiences of 38 UK companies from 13 different industry sectors, including the financial sector, government and telecommunications – highlights that the average data breach incident cost UK organisations £1.9 million or £71 per record, an increase of 13 percent on 2009, and 18 percent on 2008. The incident size ranged from 6,900 to 72,000 records, with the cost of each breach varying from £36,000 to £6.2 million.
Hostile attacks reign as the most expensive data breach for UK organisations. The 2010 study found that malicious or criminal attacks accounted for 29 percent of all data breaches, increasing from 22 percent over 2009. The expenses associated with a data breach range from detection, escalation, notification, and customer churn due to diminished trust.
