Cyber crime costs keep dropping
Finally, there's some good news in the world of cyber security. Reported financial losses to data breaches, hackers, worm infiltrations and other online business risks are continuing to fall. While the average cost of cyber security incidents was about $200,000 last year, it's about $168,000 this year. Best of all, there have been fewer incidents reported and the all-too-often cited threat from inside an organization is much lower than most people think.
