Cyber attacks come in many forms, but one incident can cost a business millions in lost revenue and brand reputation. As an insurance provider founded by cyber security experts, At-Bay can help prevent loss before it ever happens. Try our different calculators to estimate the cost of a cyber attack.
Ransomware accounts for approximately 60% of all cyber insurance claims in the U.S., making it the greatest cyber threat to American businesses. However, the cost of a single attack varies significantly, based on the size and industry of a business.
An individual's first name or first initial and last name combined with one or more other data points. Other data points may include SSN, driver's license numbers, account passwords and others, depending on the state
All data related to mental or physical health, the provision of healthcare, or the payment of healthcare that can be associated with a specific person and that is held by Health Plans, Health Providers, and Healthcare Clearinghouses or those they work with.
Typically span a larger number of locations (e.g., 10-100 locations) and may include off-site backups. May also include legacy IT from mergers and acquisitions. Users may use various devices and may work remotely.
If your breach would end up on the Wall Street Journal it would be national news. If it wouldn't create any news at all it would be a small story. And if it's somewhere in between, consider it a medium story.
To fully assess a company's security controls is a complex process, and needs vary from business to business. Do your best to compare your own practices to those of your peers or industry standards. Try different options to see how they impact your exposure.
Yes, the calculator shows average costs. However, a company does not necessarily incur each cost component. You can click on each cost component to learn more about the likelihood of incurring that cost.
Industry and Revenue are important predictors of the likelihood of a breach. For example, larger Financial Institutions and Healthcare companies are more frequent targets. However, characteristics of a company's exposure, such as the type and number of records stored drive the cost of the breach.
After a PCI breach Visa, Amex, MasterCard, and Discover may issue fraud assessments to recoup fraud costs. It's not unusual to see PCI assessments range from low or no cost to up to sixty dollars per card. The calculator shows a median cost based on the size of the breach.
Network segmentation, encryption, and cloud storage can help reduce the impact of a data breach. This calculator assumes all records stored (locally or in the cloud) are exposed to an unauthorized party. You can toggle the total number of records to experiment with the cost if only portions of your network and data are compromised.
A breach coach is frequently required after a data breach. They help determine whether public notification is legally required. In very simple cases (e.g., lost encrypted device that is quickly recovered) breach coach costs may be minimal, but in rare complex cases costs could reach up to one million dollars.
Approximately 55% of security incidents result in notification. State and federal laws determine when notification is or is not required. A breach coach helps companies ensure they comply with those laws.
Many state notification laws and HIPAA require that breached entities provide toll-free numbers customers can call to learn more information about the breach. 90-day call centers have become a breach response standard.
PCI fines and assessments are imposed by credit card companies in PCI breaches where fraud is present, and typically only in breaches of more than 5,000 cards. PCI fines and assessments can be a major driver of breach costs, though can also vary widely depending on the levels of fraud resulting from a breach.
This estimate includes State Attorneys General fines and Office of Civil Rights (OCR) fines for HIPAA violations. State AGs investigate 30% of breached companies. OCR has historically investigated all PHI breaches affecting more than 500 individuals.
This estimate focuses on consumer class action lawsuits. Approximately 5% of publicly reported data breaches lead to consumer class action litigation, though litigation is much more likely for breaches with more than 5,000-10,000 records.
Calculating potential Bitcoin mining profitability can be complicated. Deriving a precise number of expected mining revenue and profit requires more data inputs than most people realize. And correct estimations are essential to successful mining at any scale, small or large.
This article is written as a companion resource to the profitability calculator. Each of the data points available on the Braiins calculator are explained so miners understand what they represent, how to find the data needed for each field, and how to correctly calculate their own mining profit projections.
One of the first and most simple inputs is the timeframe for measuring revenue and profitability. The idea that Bitcoin incentives long-term planning is especially true in mining. Focusing on longer time periods is a more common strategy instead of mining with very short-term profit expectations. Set the range on the Braiins calculator for whatever timeframe is appropriate, between 6 and 60 months.
Hashrate is a value derived from the estimated amount of hashes being generated to solve new blocks. Every make and model of mining hardware has a factory estimated hashrate in the product details. Hashrate is generally measured in terahashes per second (TH/s). Find the hashrate for whatever machines are (or will be) operational, and sum the total hashrate for all operational machines. Enter the value in the Hashrate field.
The cost of power is one of the data points miners care about most, and electricity prices can vary significantly across different geographic regions. Prices can also vary over time unless a miner secures a power purchase agreement with future power price predictability. Even without that agreement in place, for the purposes of estimating future revenue, a miner can generally use their current power price for future projects. Consider also slightly adjusting power prices up and down to see its effects on future profit.
The number of new bitcoins created when each block is mined is the block subsidy. This number changes after each halving event, which takes place once every four calendar years, approximately. For most revenue calculations, adjust the block subsidy if the model is extended beyond the date of the next halving. Otherwise the current block subsidy can be used.
Fees can vary significantly across different pools, but rarely do pool fees rarely change, or at least change significantly. Compare fees across different pools by substituting them into the Pool Fee field and see the effect on long-term profitability.
The block subsidy is only one part of the full block reward paid to miners who win each block. Transaction fees for spends included in the block are also paid. Like price and hashrate, transaction fees paid per block vary significantly over time as network use and spend sizes vary.
Each year difficulty changes approximately 24 times (twice per month), so the percentage increase would reflect the total change from the first adjustment to the last over that period. For example, the average increase of mining difficulty over the past 5 years is 6% monthly, which equates to roughly 100% per year.
Capital expenditures are funds spent by an entity to purchase, replace, upgrade, or otherwise manage physical assets (e.g., mining machines, facilities). Common CapEx fund uses can vary significantly in type and amount across different mining operations, but common expenditures in mining include:
Operating expenses are typically recurring or cyclical costs independent from mining revenue that maintain the operation. Since electricity costs are already entered in an earlier field, the sum of expected monthly OpEx does not include power costs for miners in the Braiins calculator. Examples of common OpEx funds for miners include:
The data input for the value of mining hardware field comes from simply summing the total purchase price of hardware purchased, or in the case of a miner that has not yet bought machines, estimate the current market value of mining hardware based on the prices listed by manufacturers or hardware resellers.
Besides the mining machines, a mining operation also includes a variety of other valuable assets, including land, containers, buildings, cooling equipment, and more. Enter the dollar-denominated value of these assets excluding the value of the actual mining hardware.
This input is one of the most important advanced options because it represents how much of the newly mined bitcoins a miner plans to hold. Most miners sell some portion of their revenue to cover operating costs. But it's common to hold some portion of mined Bitcoin on their balance sheet, giving them exposure to potential price appreciation.
HODL ratio is directly dependent on the price increment factor and impacts long-term profits as the price of bitcoin fluctuates. Enter the expected HODL ratio as a percentage. For example, a miner that does not sell any bitcoins has a HODL ratio of 100%. A miner that sells most of their bitcoins could have a HODL ratio of 25%.
