The Real Cost of Cyber Incidents
What federal data shows when recovery is slow

These graphs summarize the findings in the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)'s reports. This connects exploited-vulnerability reality (CISA KEV) with economic impact: recovery speed is the controllable variable.
About 20% of known exploits allow for remove code execution (i.e. ransomware)
Every major operating system of a target
Per Incident Losses for SMBs could range from between $5,000 and $60,000; much more for larger organizations

What this page does
Exposure: KEV → getting hacked is a real possibility Money: downtime + heavy-tail loss Action: reduce downtime
So what should leaders do?
  • Assume disruptive events are plausible because exploitation is active.
  • Make recovery speed a tested number, not a guess.
  • Use DRaaS to reduce downtime and restore operations cleanly.
