Abstract: There’s a general sense in our community that cyber risk has gotten progressively worse over the years. But is that actually true? By how much? Is the typical organization more likely to have a breach now than a decade ago? Is that true for all types and sizes of firms? Are the costs of incidents rising or falling? We’ll analyze a massive dataset of historical incidents and losses to answer these questions and explore key cyber risk trends!
