Egress launches calculator to reveal the cost of insider breaches
April 2021 by Marc Jacob
Egress has announced the launch of Insider Breach Insights, which utilises real-world data to reveal the cost of email data breaches. The tool, announced at Egress’ annual Human Layer Security Global event, analyses anonymised data from the Egress Analytics platform to create risk profiles which enable organisations to understand their risk of an insider breach.
The calculator offers insights into the likely causes of email incidents, including:
• Misdirected email
• Spear phishing
• Misspelled email recipient
• Large recipient lists/incorrect use of BCC
The first step towards quantifying the scale of insider risk related to email, users simply input their industry and number of mailboxes. The tool then applies analysis based on anonymised data insights and trends to indicate the scale of potential incidents in their organisation.
