According to IBM, 2022 was the 12th year in a row that the United States paid the highest cost for a data breach, with $5.09 million more than the global average. The average cost of a data breach is $9.44 million in America, and the healthcare sector continues to be impacted the most.
In 2022, it took an average of 277 days—about 9 months—to identify and contain a breach. According to IBM, shortening the time it takes to identify and contain a data breach to 200 days or less can save money.
The share of breaches caused by ransomware grew 41% in the last year and took 49 days longer than average to identify and contain. Additionally, destructive attacks increased in cost by more than $430,000.
Another alarming statistic, according to Cybersecurity Ventures, is that the cost of global cybercrime is predicted to hit $8 trillion in 2023 and will grow to $10.5 trillion by 2025.
Out of 4,103 professionals interviewed for a Hiscox survey, only 66% said they were concerned or very concerned about cyber-attacks. Despite that, seven out of 10 small businesses have not taken the most basic steps to increase cyber security.
More than half of all cyberattacks are committed against small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs), and 60% of them go out of business within six months of falling victim to a data breach or hack.

SQL Compliance
SQL compliance is a term used to refer to the body of rules that govern how organizations should use and secure the sensitive data stored in SQL Server. These rules may differ by industry and location, but Idera SQL Compliance Manager can be customized to ensure you comply with all industry regulations and that your organization’s most sensitive data is airtight.

Extensive research is no longer required as you can simply define the objects and apply customizations to the included regulatory guideline templates. Quickly compare your customized audit configuration against the regulation guidelines or default settings to verify that your settings are compliant.
