Another thing <strong>to</strong> keep in mind, is the fact that often the<br />

breach is not discovered immediately.<br />

Usually the attack runs in the background getting all the<br />

incoming information straight <strong>to</strong> the bad guy on the other<br />

end.<br />

The longer the attack happens, the higher the cost.<br />

Multiply those costs by hundreds or thous<strong>and</strong>s of records<br />

<strong>and</strong> you can see how quickly the numbers grow.<br />

THE HARDEST COST TO<br />

QUANTIFY IS THE LOSS OF<br />

CUSTOMER TRUST<br />

If you knew your best friend’s data was compromised<br />

because he was doing business with Company A, would<br />

you willingly give them your personal information?<br />

Of course not.<br />

I wouldn’t either.<br />

So that company has already lost you <strong>and</strong> me as their<br />

potential cus<strong>to</strong>mers.<br />

It’s easy <strong>to</strong> see how this could snowball quickly resulting<br />

in no new cus<strong>to</strong>mers, reduced or non existent business<br />
