TechRadar.pro – The true cost of a data breach

Falling victim to a data breach hurts your business’ bottom line as well as its reputation.

From the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) back in May, which fundamentally changed the rulebook for storing data of EU citizens at least to the Butlin’s hack, 2018 has been a very significant year for cybersecurity.

But now that things have changed, and it’s starting to heat up in the EU.
