New Index Tracks Material Breaches - And Refuses to Add Up the Losses

A cybersecurity executive named Richard Bird created an index designed to track material breaches for use by security professionals, journalists, policymakers, and the general public. The index deliberately avoids aggregating financial loss figures across incidents.

Why it matters: Security practitioners and compliance officers need reliable, curated breach data to benchmark incidents and inform risk decisions; this resource offers visibility into material breaches without misleading aggregate loss claims.
