A serious security breach can take up to two weeks to recover from and cost millions for most US and UK organizations, according to a new report. The vast majority of responding organizations spent between $1 and $5m to recover from these incidents, with the average cost per incident standing at $2.5m. Over half of respondents claimed that their organization has suffered a cyber-attack or data breach in the past 12 months, resulting in endpoint disruption for mobile, remote, or hybrid devices. The report found that only about 30% of organizations have a recovery time of less than three days following an incident, with most taking between 3-6 days to recover and some up to two weeks.
