AI for Cybersecurity Operations Playbook

The average cost of a data breach hit $4.88 million in 2024. If your security controls are not mapped, your incident response is not tested, and your risk assessments are not current, you are one attack away from a catastrophe.

Beyond the direct costs, breached organisations lose 5% to 7% of customers permanently. Recovery takes an average of 277 days. The board will want to know why the programme was not structured.

Go from reactive security to a structured, measurable cybersecurity programme with every control mapped, every risk quantified, and every response procedure documented and tested.

Cybersecurity programme assessments from Big Four firms run $100,000 to $300,000. Managed security services cost $5,000 to $25,000 per month. This playbook gives you the same structured methodology, tools, and frameworks for a fraction of the cost.
