Understand the impact of today's security breaches by attending our June 26th webinar which will discuss the 2017 Ponemon Cost of a Data Breach study. Join Ponemon Institute and IBM Security Services on June 26th for a webinar discussing the impact of today’s security breaches based on the latest release of the 2017 Cost of Data Breach Study. Register for IBM Security Services Webinar highlighting Ponemon Institute 2017 Cost of Data Breach Study The 12th annual Cost of Data Breach Study conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored by IBM Security Services calculates the real costs, implications and probabilities of security breaches faced by global organizations. This webinar will present global findings highlighting trends across 11 countries and 2 regions. Attendees will have access to industry experts for live Q/A and will walk away with key insights, cost reducing strategies, investments and proactive best practices to reduce impact to their businesses in preparation for the next breach. Join IBM Security Services and Larry Ponemon, founder of the Ponemon Institute, as he walks through the results and methodology of the 2017 Cost of Data Breach Study.

Understanding these terms will help you understand the report findings
A mega-breach of more than 100,000 records is not considered typical. The cost data in this study cannot
be used to calculate the financial impact of a mega-breach over 100,000 records.
Data breach
An event in which an individual’s name plus a
medical record or financial record or debit card is
potentially at risk
Data record
Information that identifies the natural person
(individual) whose information has been lost or
stolen in a data breach
Incident
For this study, a data breach involving between
approximately 2,600 to slightly more than
100,000 compromised records
Participants
Organizations that experienced a data breach
within the target incident range
Benchmark research
The unit of analysis is the organization; in a
survey, the unit of analysis is the individual

PEOPLE
• The right level of expertise to handle advanced attacks
• Respond quickly and efficiently; onsite and / or remotely
• Understand business process and security requirements
• Focused on protecting a clients intellectual property
PROCESS
• Controlled standards-based incident response plans
• Intelligence and malware analysis and reporting
TECHNOLOGY
• Endpoint event analysis in near real-time
• Watson for Cybersecurity bringing cognitive solutions

21. 21 IBM Security
Prevention: When prevention works
• Agile incident management:
̶ Which levers will your organization
need to pull in the event of a
widespread breach?
• Account privilege segregation
• Privileged password “checkout”
• Time-limited privileged access

22. 22 IBM Security
Detection: Worth the investment?
• Organization was undergoing active
attack on a daily basis
• Knew what tools the attacker was using,
but was concerned there were areas of
enterprise they weren’t seeing
• Worked with organization to install an
EDR solution
• Identified attacker activity on hosts in
real time

23. 23 IBM Security
Containment
• WannaCry
̶ Robust patching
̶ Offline backups
̶ Sensitive data segmented

24. 24 IBM Security
Remediation
• Shamoon v2
• Destructive malware in the
environment
• Recover data and get business
running again as fast as possible
• Prevent similar capability from
causing disruption in the
environment in the future

25. 25 IBM Security
Key takeaways from this year’s study
1 Lost business is the biggest financial consequence of a data breach
6 Visibility across the incident life cycle is critical to identifying threats, prioritizing
response and identifying data at risk
Having the right skills, expertise and knowledge—from operations to the C-
Suite—can impact an organization’s ability to reduce the cost of a data breach3
A proactive approach to incident response can significantly reduce cost and
impact of a breach4
Investing in security technologies such as analytics, SIEM and encryption can
help prevent breaches as well as reduce cost5
2 Breaches that occur during cloud implementations and involve mobile add
complexity and cost

26. 26 IBM Security
Organizations are making investments and seeing results, but there
remains much room for improvement
Global average percentage of companies that:
Have a data security
strategy
Participate in threat
intelligence sharing
Deploy security intelligence
systems including SIEM
Deploy advanced identity
and access management
tools
Extensively use encryption
or cryptographic tools
Outsource some or all of
security opertions or
infrastructure

Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, misappropriated or misused or can result in damage to or misuse of your systems, including for use in attacks on others. No IT system or
product should be considered completely secure and no single product, service or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper use or access. IBM systems, products and services are
