This was calculated by Cisco & Cybersecurity Ventures, who both directly profit from the fear generated by these figures. I do not trust these figures.

This is marketing for CIO/CISO's to read so they make sure to add in various security features to their BoM for purchase.

Cybersecurity Ventures is not a clickbaity newspaper. They are specialists. Obviously when they publish articles in their domain, it has an advertising purpose but producing shoddy figures would only hurt their brand.

You can't trust everything coming from companies at face value. That doesn't mean you shouldn't trust anything.
