What is a Data Breach?

A data breach is an incident where information is stolen or taken from a system without the knowledge or authorization of the system’s owner. Data breaches can involve personal information, such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, or other sensitive data. These breaches can occur due to various reasons, including hacking, malware, or insider threats. The consequences of a data breach can be severe, leading to financial losses, legal penalties, and damage to an organization’s reputation.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Total Data Breach Cost:

\[ C_{total} = (1000 \cdot 150) + 5000 + 2000 + 3000 + 10000 = 150000 + 5000 + 2000 + 3000 + 10000 = 170000 \text{ units} \]

The Total Data Breach Cost is 170000 units.
