Mockup 1 — Breach Cost by Industry

Average Cost of a Data Breach

Not all industries are equal when it comes to breach impact. These are actuarial averages — not worst-case scenarios.

The Numbers That Matter

Every stat carries its source. Because when we say "quantify your risk in currency, not traffic lights" — we mean it.
Mockup 3 — Anatomy of a Cyber Attack

How a Breach Unfolds — and Where We Stop It

Most breaches follow a predictable pattern. Each phase is an opportunity to detect and contain — if you have the right controls in place.
Day 0
Initial Compromise
Phishing email bypasses basic filters. Employee clicks a credential-harvesting link. This is how 16% of breaches begin.

Day 1–7
Lateral Movement
Attacker uses stolen credentials to access shared drives, escalate privileges, and map the network. 22% of breaches involve compromised credentials.
ITRS blocks: Identity Management + Network Security
Day 7–30
Data Exfiltration
Sensitive data is copied to external servers. Customer PII is compromised in 53% of breaches. Average detection takes 241 days.

Day 30+
Ransomware Deployment
Systems encrypted. Operations halted. Ransomware is present in 44% of all breaches — and 88% of SMB breaches. Recovery averages 100+ days.

Mockup 4 — Where Breaches Start

Initial Access Vectors

A single weak point is all an attacker needs. This is why comprehensive coverage across all twelve security disciplines matters.

Mockup 5 — Citation Pattern: Footnotes

Every Number Has a Source

This pattern shows how existing website copy would look with proper footnote citations. Minimal disruption, maximum credibility.
A law firm breach averages R75.2M.1 Healthcare, R122.4M.1 Manufacturing downtime runs R82.5M per incident.1 These are actuarial averages, not worst-case scenarios. And ransomware is present in 44% of all breaches2 — rising to 88% for businesses with under 500 employees.2 Average time to detect a breach: 241 days.1
