$4.44<\/span><\/a> million lost globally! That\u2019s the average cost of a data breach globally in 2025, with $10.22 million per incident in the US. These figures can make any business pause before uploading sensitive data to the cloud.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The risks are real. Another study found that <\/span>86%<\/span><\/a> of Google Drive files hadn\u2019t been updated in over 90 days, leaving them exposed to unauthorized access. Files unchecked for months, or forgotten in the cloud, can become easy targets for attackers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
