Your enterprise
data is at risk
Enterprise data is growing at an
exponential rate—driven by new
technologies. It’s a key source of
business insights and competitive
value. However, the world is
riskier than it used to be, and as
the amount of data increases, so
does the risks related to data loss.
Managing and safeguarding your
enterprise data can be especially
challenging because you’re faced
with the:
• Increased risk of data loss due
to disruption, outage or disaster
• Rising costs of data and
application protection, backup
and continuity
• Need to comply with changing
government and industry
regulatory requirements

The 2019 Cost of a Data Breach
Study by the Ponemon Institute
helps lay bare some hard truths
about data loss.
According to the study1:
• The average cost of a
data breach globally is
USD 3.92 million, which
is a more than 1.5 percent
increase from 2018.
• The average total cost of mega
breach of 1 million records is
USD 42 million, while a breach
of 50 million records is
USD 388 million.
This data loss not only financially
impacts the companies, but also
affects their ability to continue
operations after significant events.
