Celebrating Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2023

October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month in the U.S., highlighting the importance of revisiting personal security measures. Data breaches cost companies an average of $4.45 million per incident, with healthcare sector suffering the highest average cost at $11 million per breach. The frequency of attacks is also increasing, averaging 1,258 attacks per week for organizations. To combat this, enterprises are elevating security ownership to C-level and creating more Chief Information Security Officer roles. Advanced tools like Call Verification and voice authentication technology are being implemented to enhance communication security. A dedicated effort around cybersecurity can reduce the number of breaches by nearly 40% and help stock prices recover more quickly, according to Harvard Business Review.
