According to an IBM study, the “vast majority” of organizations surveyed are
unprepared to respond effectively to a serious security incident. Most often, this is due to chronic resource issues and inadequate planning.

• In 2019, it took organizations an average of 206 days to identify a data breach and another 73 days to contain it, a nearly 5% increase over the year before.
• The total average cost of a data breach for the largest organizations was $5.11m (about $204 per employee).

• For smaller organizations, the average was $2.65m (about $3,533 per employee). The higher proportional costs for smaller firms can “hamper their ability to recover financially from the incident”.
