How Much Do Data Breaches Really Cost? | Alex Pinto

Hello

and welcome to the Decipher podcast.

I'm Dennis Fischer and my guest today is my friend Alex Pinto from Verizon, one of the primary authors of the Verizon DBIR and a whole bunch of other things.

Alex, it's great to see you.

How are you? I'm great.

And it's great to be

here.

I, you know, I enjoy doing this as, you know, as much as we can.

Right.

No, it's busy, but it's always a great conversation.

Yeah, this is one of my favorite podcasts.

We usually do this every year.

We didn't get to do it last year for some organizational reasons, but we're back.

We're back, baby.

We're going to do it this year.

So the DBIR came out a couple of weeks ago now, I think, as we're recording this.

And it's we were talking before I started recording.

This is one of those sort of markers in the year, I think, for a lot of people in the community where they wait for this to come out and just kind of dig through it.

And I, you know, depending on what your job function is, you probably use this to justify some budget.

You probably use it to show your bosses like this is why we need this technology or see, I told you this is a real concern, those types of things.
