Personally Identifiable Information Targeted in Breaches that Impact Billions of Records 

What is the true cost of a data breach? 

Despite enterprises’ worldwide investments in information security products and services estimated at more than $114 billion in 2018, compromises of consumer data abound. Consumer personally identifiable information (PII) data remains the holy grail of cybercriminals, and given that enterprises across a wide range of industries – including healthcare, government, and financial services – store and manage billions of consumer data records, these organizations are consistently under siege from cyberattacks. 

This report provides in-depth insights into consumer data breaches executed in the U.S. in 2018 and Q1 2019. The findings highlight three trends:
 
  • PII is overwhelmingly the most attractive type of consumer data to cybercriminals
  • Cybercriminals’ most effective attack method is unauthorized access
  • Healthcare is the most targeted industry.
