AI adoption is outpacing oversight, leaving the door open to attackers who are targeting these technologies to steal your company’s intellectual property and customer propriety data. These attacks are also disrupting business operations, from the ability to fill customer orders to hobbling production facilities.

The IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report, now in its 20th year, analyses these trends and others, delivering insights that empower security and business leaders to better manage risk and limit losses. Among the top results in this year’s research, which was conducted by Ponemon Institute and analysed by IBM, you will find insights on:

• The state of security and governance for AI
• The prevalence and risk profile of shadow AI
• Types of data targeted in security incidents involving AI
• The length of breach disruptions to organisations
• Cost savings from using quantum security tools
• Breach costs associated with AI-driven attacks
• The amount of breach costs passed on to customers
