Understanding the costs of the data breach pandemic is more complicated than you think. Multiple factors have to be taken into account, and if your organization is like most, you’re short on both time and talent to dig through the contributing factors to take corrective action before a breach strikes.

We can help unravel the mystery. The 2021 Cost of a Data Breach Report offers cybersecurity, IT and risk management leaders a detailed view of the root causes and financial and brand impacts of data breaches, based on analysis of hundreds of real security incidents.

Mitch Mayne of IBM Security X-Force sits down with two cybersecurity experts—Charles DeBeck and Camille Singleton of X-Force Threat Intelligence—to analyze, and talk about practical recommendations on how you can help minimize the financial impact of a breach.


  • Understand what proactive and responsive measures you can take to help mitigate the potential damages of a data breach
  • See what factors amplify the cost of a breach, including the impact of remote working due to COVID-19 and ransomware attacks
  • Compare industries, regions and widening gaps between organizations who have a strong security posture versus those who do not
  • Gain insight into how automation, zero trust, and risk quantification can assist your organization in preventing or minimizing damage from a data breach
