Companies that have a major cyber incident can see a 9% drop in shareholder value in the year following the incident, according to Aon plc. For companies hit extremely hard by a cyber incident, the decline in shareholder value can be as much as 21%.

These drops in value show how important it is that companies proactively manage cyber risks.
