IT Governance launches cybersecurity resource center to help American businesses tackle the growing problem of cyber crime.

BOISE, IDAHO, USA, November 9, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Leading cybersecurity consultancy firm IT Governance has launched a new cybersecurity resource center to help American businesses tackle the growing problem of cyber crime.

The average cost of a data breach in America has increased from $5.9 million to $6.5 million according to IBM and Ponemon Institute’s 2015 Cost of Data Breach Report. This, combined with the fact that over 117,000 security incidents occur globally every day, has made focusing on cyber crime a top board priority.

The resource center features the latest news, downloadable white papers, articles, graphics, and other content to help cybersecurity practitioners, compliance managers, and executives keep up to date with trends in cyber crime and cybersecurity.

Alan Calder, the founder and executive chairman of IT Governance, says, “The cost of data breaches is now at a record high. The responsibility lies with an organization’s executive leadership to address this growing problem. With new vulnerabilities being discovered every day, organizations that survive and thrive are those that are able to keep up with the evolving nature of cyber attacks.”

Cybersecurity guidance from the NY Stock Exchange

Resource center visitors will also have access to a useful series of executive summaries of the New York Stock Exchange’s cybersecurity guide, ‘Navigating the Digital Age: The Definitive Cybersecurity Guide for Directors and Officers’. By condensing this important guide down to a series of smaller, digestible summaries, business professionals will gain instant access to the practical advice and guidance of leading cybersecurity experts without having to read through all 355 pages of the guide.

The resource center can be found on the IT Governance website.
