Europe's GDPR has resulted in a 40% increase in fines since last year to $193.4 million.
The number of breach notifications is also growing, with an average of 331 data breaches reported per day over the past 12 months, compared to 278 notifications a day the previous year. In total, there have been more than 281,000 data breach notifications since May 2018.
