October is the month we associate with things that go bump in the night — that time when children, sometimes disguised as tricksters, go door-to-door. It’s also a time when people acknowledge a different kind of nefarious trickster, often perceived as a shadowy figure who lurks in the Dark Web — a hacker who goes from one computer network to the next in an attempt to steal your data or hold your systems ransom.
October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. To better understand the precautions you can take to secure your organization’s networks, it’s important to first know what you’re up against. So we’ve compiled this top 10 list of cybersecurity statistics.

That's according to Gemalto. The amount of digital data being generated is compounding exponentially each year, so it stands to reason that the number of compromised records has grown in tandem.
Here's the source for this frightening percentage. Despite facing with the consequences of a previous cybersecurity event, many businesses are not adequately securing their systems.
