US cybersecurity uncovered in new webinar from IT Governance

IT Governance will address the cybersecurity challenges US businesses face in a new webinar, Using international standards to improve US cybersecurity.

ASHLAND, OHIO, USA, February 23, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the year from November 2013 to October 2014, approximately 350 million records were lost or stolen in US data breaches as a result of ineffectual cybersecurity, making cyber security a critical issue for US businesses.

Applying IBM/Ponemon Institute's 2014 Cost of Data Breach Study: United States figures, which put the average cost per breached record at just over $200, the total cost of these incidents to US businesses was an estimated $70 billion.
