How would you deal with 32.000 data breaches per year? Two inspectors of the Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) will provide a unique insight into the inner workings of the AP as an actor within the cyber security field. First we give insights into the AP as an organization and discuss how the AP handles data breach notifications, including the strategies we use to move organizations into compliance. Secondly, we present original research based on all notifications of cyber attacks the AP received in 2024. From this unique dataset, we derive statistics of the root causes of incidents and provide organizations with valuable insights to keep their systems secure.
