More than one quarter of Norwegian businesses - 412 out of 1500, or 27% - have experienced undesirable security incidents in the past year.

The The Norwegian Computer Crime and Data Breach Survey 2016, which I helped write, found that these incidents led to a loss of productivity in 4 out of 10 cases (in the form of lost work hours), but only 2 out of companies 10 report that there have been costs incurred by these incidents.
