This is the ultimate guide to the cost of IT security. Select the details that match your company to see the average budgets your industry peers spend on IT security (by region, industry, size), what security measures they take, the major threat vectors they encounter, how much money they lose as a result, and what you can do to avoid being compromised. The Calculator has been created as an adjustable tool. The data presented can be updated and/or added to over time based on insights from customers and Kaspersky.

Incidents affecting IT Infrastructure hosted by a third party
Industrial and manufacturing companies are suffering most from a threat that is commonly overlooked-generic malware, which gets right inside the industrial network. This means the implementation of cybersecurity solutions, that are designed for industrial and manufacturing organizations and that are aware of specific OT assets, are imperative. To further improve cybersafety, it is recommended that these organizations invest in cybersecurity services that include regular cyber awareness training.
European industrial and manufacturing companies seem to be quite well-equipped against most known cyberthreats. However, even they suffer from incidents like ransomware outbreaks. Therefore, a specialized anti-ransomware protection for industrial computers could add an additional layer of cyber resilience to their industrial environment.
