Businesses lose an estimated $10 billion or more annually due to security breaches in their computer systems, according to the Computer Security Institute, a San Francisco-based association of information security professionals.

Halep, the winner here in 2016 and 2017, was made to work harder in the second set on Manolo Santana but the world number one’s 6-0 6-3 victory yesterday was never in doubt. Kristyna Pliskova of the Czech Republic will now await Halep in the last 16 as the Romanian continues to prepare for the French Open, where she has twice gone the distance only to finish runner-up.
