Indeed, since legislation like GDPR has been introduced, the risk of litigation and legal fallout has added an extra layer of threat to the problem of data insecurity. As cybercriminals have advanced, so too have the measures needed to outmanoeuvre them — with millions now spent each year protecting digital assets.
But just how big an issue is data security in ? And which type of businesses are most vulnerable to this unique form of criminality? To find out, we sourced data on the biggest data breaches in history, crunching the numbers to give an overview of which companies are most susceptible to data corruption — and why.
Take a look at what our research turned up in our visual guide to the biggest data breaches in history below. Since the digital revolution, cybercriminals have sought to steal commercial and personal data. But is the problem getting worse? Or are businesses finding it easier to cope with the challenges of protecting their assets?
Suffice to say that here in , effective data protection remains a game of cat and mouse. As cybercriminals develop new ways to infiltrate security systems, businesses face the relentless task of redeploying and reinvesting in cybersecurity provision — and so the cycle continues.
As made clear by our chart, a significant amount more data breaches occurred in the s than the s, with , and seeing the most large-scale data violations. And there are several scenarios that could explain this, from advances in cybercrime to an increase in the number of businesses moving to digital-only databases. The decade-to-decade growth in data attacks becomes acutely evident when looking at the five-year change. From company size to the inherent value of certain information, lots of factors contribute to how aggressively cybercriminals pursue particular businesses — but which industries are most at risk from data crime?
From our research, we established that web companies are the most likely to suffer data breaches, with 46 large-scale violations recorded. Similarly, it was no great revelation to see the financial sector in the top three, with 35 major cases of data theft. Such businesses are an attractive and potentially lucrative target, with high-value data emboldening cybercriminals to launch attacks against banks, investment funds and accounting services. What was startling, however, was the appearance of the healthcare sector in the number two spot, with close to the same number of data breaches as web businesses.
This is particularly worrying given the sensitive nature of the information such organisations hold, and raises questions about the digital security provision of public and private healthcare services, like the NHS. The past decade has seen several high-profile data breaches, prompting many businesses to sure-up their own security assets.
But of the businesses to suffer data crime in recent years, which have been the most unfortunate? When comparing the most-breached list of businesses to our sector breakdown above, the appearance of firms like Facebook, AOL and Citigroup rings true. Indeed, the top ten is dominated by major global web, tech and financial organisations, supporting the notion that such businesses are the most attractive to cybercriminals. Another area we thought prudent to include as part of our research was the most prevalent methods criminals use to breach company data.
