The NotPetya attack in June 2017 had a profound impact on the global supply chain and international business operations. It rapidly spread through interconnected networks, disrupting numerous multinational companies. The total damages from the attack exceeded $10 billion, effectively wiping out years of business growth. In the broader context, cyberattacks in 2020 cost governments and businesses $1 trillion, which is about 1% of global GDP. For individual companies, the average cost of a single data breach was $3.6 million.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework enhances user experience in terms of data security and trust by providing a set of standards, guidelines, and best practices to manage cybersecurity risks. It helps organizations to understand, manage, and reduce their cybersecurity risks which in turn increases the trust of users in the system. The framework also promotes the protection of privacy and civil liberties which further enhances user trust. By implementing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity, thereby enhancing their reputation and the trust of their users.

Cybersecurity breaches and their prevention measures have indirect environmental implications. Breaches can lead to significant economic losses, which can impact environmental sustainability efforts if funds are diverted from these initiatives to address the breaches. Additionally, the energy consumption of data centers, which increases during a breach due to the need for additional computational power, contributes to carbon emissions. Prevention measures, on the other hand, can help mitigate these impacts by preventing breaches in the first place, reducing the need for additional energy consumption and potential diversion of funds.
