In October, the Ponemon Institute estimated the average annual cost of cybercrime for large U.S. companies to be $15.4 million. That figure is up 19 percent from last year and up 82 percent from the institute’s first study six years ago.

Researchers also examined expenses after events designed to prevent additional costs stemming from the potential loss of business or customers, such as those seen in widely reported breaches at Target, Home Depot and Sony Pictures.
