A Lost Laptop Costs Companies $50,000

A recent voluntary view of 28 US companies found a single lost laptop computer to be an norm of $ 49,246 . ( And no , these laptop did not cost $ 50k in hardware alone . )

The gravid price to company is the data point rupture , which account for 80 % of this ludicrously declamatory figure of speech because to consulting , law and tech firms , lose IP is a very freehanded deal . Other costs include the hardware , lose productivity and investigation .

But the funny thing is that a mid - point handler ’s laptop computer , filled with vital company data , was deserving an norm of $ 60,000 , while a CEO ’s laptop , filled with archive from the Wall Street Journal and a small solicitation of Hentai , was usually deserving less than half that figure .
