64 percent of data breaches in 2012 were the result of human errors and system glitches. The cost of those data breaches is on the rise, according to a new study by Symantec and the Ponemon Institute. The U.S. and Germany had the highest total cost per data breach, at $5.4 million and $4 million, while companies in India were the most likely to have a data breach due to human error. The study investigated 277 organizations with actual data breach experiences in nine countries and across 16 industry sectors.”]
