Cost of a Data Breach

Bill Gardner    Marshall University, Huntington, WV, USA

Abstract

Data breaches cost money. In some cases, the cost of a data breach is so large that it can put a company out of business. The cost of data breaches results from industry and regulatory fines such as HIPAA/HITECH and PCI DSS. Other costs result from lost of business, state notification laws, and fixing the security issues that lead to the breach. Organizations that track cost related to data breaches include the Ponemon Institute, Symantec, and Verizon.
