Recent Breach Examples

  • Since January 2017, at least 16 major retailers have experienced security breaches.
  • Hackers can take advantage of vulnerabilities in operating systems (OS) and applications if they are not properly patched or updated. This puts all of the data on those system and other connected systems at risk.
  • One educational institution that was breached contained it quickly, had no media involvement and spent pennies per record. Yet, the same university experienced a breach of one record when an inadvertent "replay to all" email ended up in the media. That cost over $1,000 to repair the damage for just one record.
  • Since January 2015, there has been a 1,300% increase in losses due to business email compromise, according to the FBI

Email Security Breaches: A Worldwide Threat

Reports of corporate data breaches continue to pass through news headlines with such frequency that they barely merit a time slot in the evening news. According to a study conducted by The Ponemon Institute in June 2016, an alarming 85% of respondent businesses admitted that they have experienced a data security breach. Despite the frequency of such security failures, 46% of businesses failed to implement encryption solutions even after suffering a data breach. Organizations experiencing a data breach incurred costs across the board.

  • 74% report loss of customers
  • 59% faced potential litigation
  • 33% faced potential fines
  • 32% experienced a decline in share value

This doesn’t account for the toll on a company’s reputation and brand image, recovery costs after the breach, and the disruption in service during the process.

Because Guardian Digital’s solutions are built on an advanced cloud platform that combines open-source technology with the security expertise of our engineers, the result is a system that updates rapidly and learns over time to protect business email from advanced and persistent threats.
