Forrester looked at the top global breaches and worst privacy abuses of 2022 and identified key trends and lessons learned. With over 1 billion records exposed in just the top 35 breaches, over $2.6 billion stolen in the top nine cryptocurrency breaches, and over $2.7 billion in fines levied to the top 35 violators, lessons abound for security teams. Security leaders should use this report to understand the key breaches and lessons from the year and augment their security strategies accordingly.
