Prevention vs. Response - Cybersec Economics in the Modern Era
summary
Only one third of major breaches are discovered internally, the average breach costs about $4.5M globally ($9M in the US) and takes 277 days to detect and respond (roughly 200 days to detect, 77 to respond). Cloud involvement jumps from 45% to 82% of breaches in one year and lengthens containment and cost. Strong DevSecOps cuts breach cost by ~$1.7M and IR preparedness by ~$1.5M; excessive security complexity raises costs by ~$1.5M. AI helps defenders now but could shift the balance.
