A new report by Allied Universal, a global security and facility services provider, has found that physical security incidents cost companies $1 trillion in 2022. This is a significant increase from the previous year.
The report also found that the biggest security concern for the next year is economic unrest. Other major threats include climate change, social unrest, and disruption to energy supplies.
Companies expect to spend significantly more on security in the next year in response to these threats. The report found that 51% of organizations plan to increase security investments as a result of a breach, including incident response planning and testing, employee training, and threat detection and response tools.
