The Cost of Visual Hacking: A Silent Threat to Your Business
In today’s hybrid work environment, sensitive information—such as confidential documents, access credentials, and financial records - is more vulnerable than ever. Visual hackers only need a quick glance to exploit this data, putting businesses at serious risk.
Consider these alarming facts:
- $4.88M: The global average cost of a data breach in 2024, a 10% increase over last year.¹
- Less than 15 minutes: Time it takes to complete a visual hack in 45% of cases.²
- On average, 5 pieces of sensitive data are exposed per attempt.²
- 70% of hackers go unnoticed by employees during these attempts.²
Imagine the impact of even one successful visual hack on your organization. Visual hacking is fast, silent, and costly. Recognizing its risks is the first step - but taking action is the only way to protect your business.
