A cyber breach is something we hear about every day in the news. What most people don’t realize unless they’ve experienced it themselves is that a cybersecurity incident has a tail that can last for years — sometimes 5-10 years — and typically involves a price tag of north of $50-100 million, depending on the size of organization. So, it’s very important for organizations to get support in navigating how to respond.
