The median cost was more than $30,000 (up from $11,000) and the mostfrequent response was $40,000 (up from $10,000). All of these numbers are dramaticincreases from the 2003 survey. We continue to see large variances between the average,median, and most frequently stated costs. This is due to several very large reports over$1,000,000 each. However, it should be noted that the median and most frequently statedcategories are getting closer. This is more easily recognized when depicted in Figure 8.Copyright 2005 ICSA Labs, a division of Cybertrust, Inc.
