Our research found a number of key data points that demonstrate the impact of multi-party breaches, including: - A median ripple breach event causes 10x the financial damage of a traditional single-party breach. - The largest ripple in terms of organizational impact affected 550 firms. - It takes 379 days for a typical ripple event to impact 75% of its downstream victims. Download the report now to read all the findings from our research.  - [**](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.riskrecon.com%2Fresources%2Freports-and-whitepapers%2Fnew-report-measuring-the-ongoing-impact-of-multi-party-breaches) - [**](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https://blog.riskrecon.com/resources/reports-and-whitepapers/new-report-measuring-the-ongoing-impact-of-multi-party-breaches) - [**](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.riskrecon.com%2Fresources%2Freports-and-whitepapers%2Fnew-report-measuring-the-ongoing-impact-of-multi-party-breaches) ### What we need from you [![riskrecon_by_mc_rgb_rev](https://blog.riskrecon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2020_RR/riskrecon_by_mc_rgb_rev.png?width=150&height=74&name=riskrecon_by_mc_rgb_rev.png "riskrecon_by_mc_rgb_rev")](https://www.riskrecon.com/) Locations: Murray, UT Boston, MA E: [sales@riskrecon.com](mailto:sales@riskrecon.com) [![Contact Us](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2477095/bf45a9b1-2774-4be7-88e8-3edd40ff6445.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2477095/bf45a9b1-2774-4be7-88e8-3edd40ff6445) #### Solutions - [RiskRecon Cyber Ratings](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/riskrecon-by-mastercard) - [RiskRecon Privacy Ratings](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/riskrecon-privacy) - [RiskRecon Assessments](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/riskrecon-assessments) - [Cyber Quant](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/mastercard-cyber-quant) - [Threat Protection](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/mastercard-threat-protection) #### Use Cases - [Third-party diagnostic & prioritization](https://www.riskrecon.com/use-case/third-party-portfolio-diagnostic) - [Cyber Attack Protection](https://www.riskrecon.com/mastercard-threat-protection) - [Cyber Risk Quantification](https://www.riskrecon.com/solutions/mastercard-cyber-quant) - [Supply Chain Monitoring](https://www.riskrecon.com/use-case/supply-chain-monitoring-and-visualization) - [Own Enterprise Monitoring](https://www.riskrecon.com/use-case/own-enterprise-subsidiary-monitoring) #### Company - [Why RR](https://www.riskrecon.com/why-riskrecon) - [Our Story Leadership](https://www.riskrecon.com/team#leadership) - [Partners](https://www.riskrecon.com/partners-riskrecon) - [Careers](https://careers.mastercard.com/us/en/search-results?keywords=riskrecon) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/vision/corp-responsibility/commitment-to-privacy/privacy.html?hsLang=en) - [Terms of Use](https://www.riskrecon.com/terms-of-use) #### Resources - [Academy](https://www.riskrecon.com/academy) - [Blog](https://blog.riskrecon.com/) - [Events](https://blog.riskrecon.com/company/events) - [Reports and WPs](https://blog.riskrecon.com/resources/reports-and-whitepapers) - [Videos & Webinars](https://blog.riskrecon.com/resources/videos-and-webinars) - [Ratings Model](https://www.riskrecon.com/cybersecurity-risk-rating-model) Follow us: [**](https://www.facebook.com/riskrecon) [**](https://twitter.com/riskrecon) [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/riskrecon/) © Copyright 2026. | [Privacy Policy](https://www.riskrecon.com/privacy-policy) | [Terms of Use](https://www.riskrecon.com/terms-of-use) Manage Cookies
