Do you know how many data breaches your agency has had? If you answered no, you’re not alone.

A survey by Securosis found that two-thirds of cyber specialists don’t know how many data breaches they have encountered. The main reason, according to the survey, is cyberspecialists are bogged down by too many cyber regulations.
