The Hidden Costs of Downtime
Downtime and service degradation create a cascade of consequences, costing Global 2000 companies $400B annually. But that figure doesn’t account for what’s below the surface. The actual cost is much larger when we consider downtime’s broader impacts.
- $49M in lost revenue is the largest direct cost of downtime.
- 2.5% drop in stock value on average after a single downtime event.
- 56% of incidents are cybersecurity-related; 44% stem from app or infrastructure issues.
- Resilience leaders suffer less downtime, recover faster, and get hit with lower costs.
Learn how the most resilient organizations set themselves apart from the rest and Splunk’s recommendations for deterring downtime in this first-of-its-kind report in partnership with Oxford Economics.
