About 43 percent of organizations are either in the early stages of applying security practices across their cloud environments or haven't started at all – costing them $660,000 more on average in higher breach costs than those with mature cloud security strategies.

IBM noted that organizations using security AI and automation technologies had average data breach costs that were $3.05 million less than those that weren't. Such technologies were the largest cost savers seen in the study, Big Blue argued. ®
