Organizations in the country that were hit by a cyberattack between March 2023 and February 2024 paid an average of 6.32 million per data breach incident, according to figures released Tuesday by the US firm.<\/p>\n

This is slightly lower than the previous two years, at 6.94 and 7.05 million, respectively. IBM associates this decline with corporate use of AI. <\/p>\n
