The document outlines data loss and data breaches, differentiating between them by defining data loss as the corruption or deletion of data versus a data breach as unauthorized access to sensitive information. Common causes of data loss include hacking, human error, and ransomware, while statistics reveal significant impacts on businesses, including high costs and recovery challenges. It also highlights preventative measures and privacy legislation worldwide, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity hygiene.

Overview

4. What is data loss?
Data loss is any process or event that results in data
being corrupted, deleted and/or made unreadable by a
user and/or software or application.
Data loss may involve:
● Payment card information (PCI)
● Personal health information (PHI)
● Personally identifiable information (PII)
● Trade secrets, or intellectual property

5. What is data breach?
A data breach comes as a result of a cyberattack that
allows cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to a
computer system or network and steal the private,
sensitive, or confidential personal and financial data of
the customers or users contained within
Phases of a Data Breach :
● Research
● Attack
● Exfiltrate

7. Common causes of data loss
Data breach is the most common cause that leads to data loss. There are several factors also through which we
can loos public as well as private data.
➔ Hacking
➔ Human Error
➔ Virus & Malware
➔ Social Engineering
➔ Power Failures
➔ Physical Theft
➔ Environment/ Disasters
➔ Misuse
➔ Ransomware
➔ Liquid Damage
➔ Phishing attack
➔ Use Of Vulnerable Third Party Application
➔ Formjacking attacks & Cryptojacking
➔ clickjacking

8. Statistics by data loss causes
Several factors have been found to be responsible for data
breaches. They include:
$157
Per User
$131
Per User
$128
Per User
There were more than 1.76 billion records leaked in
January 2020 alone.
● 34% of data breaches involved internal
actors. (Verizon)
● Phishing emails are responsible for about
91 % of cyber attacks.
● Mobile malware increasing by a massive
54 % in one year.
● A staggering 92 % of malware is
delivered via email.
● Cryptojacking is one of the more serious
cyber threats to watch out for in 2020.

10. Ransomware
Ransomware is the name for malicious software which gains
access and locks down access to vital data (i.e., files,
systems).The WannaCry ransomware attack made many
people cry in 2017
● The average cost of a ransomware attack on businesses is
$133,000. (SafeAtLast)
● WannaCry ransomware attack cost the National Health
Service (NHS) over $100 million. (Datto)
● 39% of the global data breaches caused by ransomware
5,4 billion WannaCry attacks
were blocked in 2017“

12. Phishing
Phishing occurs when someone or something mimics a
trusted, reputable entity in order to collect sensitive data
(often banking or highly personal details). These attacks
are not exclusive to the Internet. Common methods for
phishing scams can include:
● A pop-up on your browser
● An email with a link
● A person on the phone claiming to be a
representative of a reputable company
Tuesday has been observed as the most popular day for
phishers to conduct their campaigns while the least
popular day was Friday.

14. Denial-of-Service (DoS)
DoS breach essentially takes away access to
websites and webpages. When this happens at large
scale, it’s known as a distributed denial-of-service
(DDoS)
● The cost of a DDoS attack averages between
$20,000-$40,000 per hour.
● The average size of DDoS attacks was at the
mindblowing 26.37 GBps in Q2 2018.
● The longest attack in 2018 lasted 329 hours nearly 2
weeks
● The majority of DDoS attacks are launched from(over 4.5
million in 2018)

17. Effects of data loss on businesses
There was significant variation in total data breach costs by
organization size.
● 94 % of companies that experience severe data loss do not
recover
● 51 % of these companies close within two years of the data loss
● 43% of breach victims were small businesses. (Verizon)
● 15% of breaches involved Healthcare organizations
● 10% in the Financial industry
● 16% in the Public Sector.
The cost of data breach in
the healthcare industry was
the highest at $6.5 MILLION

20. Data Loss Prevention &
Privacy Legislation Worldwide

21. What is data loss prevention
Data loss prevention (DLP) technology aims to identify,
monitor and protect your data, both in storage or in motion
through network, from misuse/theft/ransomware/leakage.
How to prevent your data?
● Backup
● Use of anti-virus software
● Complying network policies like principle of least privilege (POLP)
● Adhering to data protection Certification such as PCI DSS, HIPPA, Cloud Security Alliance, FEDRAMP,
HITRUST, ISO 27001/2/17/18, SOC ⅔, Privacy Shield Framework, US-EU Safe Harbor Privacy Framework

22. Privacy Legislation Worldwide
● US includes California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
● Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD)
● Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
● European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
● Switzerland's Federal Act
● India’s The Information Technology Act
● South Africa's Electronic Communications and Transactions Act
● New Zealand's Privacy Act of 1993
As 2018 was the year
of the GDPR, 2020
will be the year of the
CCPA. Its
enforcement is likely
to set an example for
other US states and
may serve as a
secondary blueprint
for international data
protection legislation
looking for an
alternative to the
strict model of the
GDPR.
