How to Reduce Cybersecurity Costs and Ensure Regulatory Compliance

Organizations need to collect and analyze larger volumes of data to spot potential vulnerabilities and attacks as cyber threats grow more sophisticated, leading to increased data ingestion that requires more extensive and costly data storage solutions. Compliance requirements also add to expenses, as organizations must meet various regulatory standards like General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR). This, in turn, requires significant investments in data protection, encryption, and regular audits, which are both costly and resource intensive. Additionally, the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals drives up salaries and increases competition, adding to the financial burden.

Rising Cybersecurity Threats and Their Global Impact

Globally, cyber threats have reached unprecedented levels, characterized by increasing sophistication and frequency. According to the latest IBM® X-Force® Threat Intelligence Index 2024, ransomware remains a dominant threat, accounting for 21% of all cyber incidents in 2023, with an average breach cost of $4.62 million.^[1]
The prevalence of double extortion tactics, where attackers both encrypt and exfiltrate data, highlights the need for robust encryption, continuous monitoring, and rapid response strategies.

Additionally, the Deloitte 2023 Global Future of Cyber report reveals that 91% of organizations experienced at least one cyber incident, with operational disruptions affecting 58% of them.^[2] The report also highlights that 56% of organizations faced revenue loss and customer trust erosion due to cyber incidents, emphasizing the critical need for businesses to
adopt comprehensive cyber defenses.

Critical infrastructure and supply chains are particularly vulnerable to these escalating cyber threats. The interconnected nature of supply chains makes them prime targets, with 42% of organizations increasing their focus on managing cyber risks in this area. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the integration of mature cyber strategies across operations, including critical infrastructure and supply chain ecosystems, becomes essential.

The Impact of Non-Compliance

Non-compliance with regulatory requirements can lead to significant financial risks, including substantial fines, increased storage costs, and damage to corporate reputation. Key financial risks include:

Regulatory bodies impose substantial fines on organizations that fail to comply with data protection standards. These fines can be financially crippling and damage the organization’s reputation.
Organizations may face increased storage costs without efficient data compression and management, due to the need for secure and long-term data retention.
Data breaches and non-compliance incidents can significantly harm an organization’s reputation, leading to loss of customer trust and potential revenue decline.
