Outages Cost Millions: GitProtect Launches DevOps Downtime Calculator

Built on real outage data, the new interactive tool enables enterprises to quantify hidden downtime losses and benchmark their cyber resilience in minutes.

WARSAW, Poland, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As enterprises increasingly rely on DevOps platforms, the illusion of uninterrupted uptime is shattering. To expose the often-ignored financial and reputational consequences of DevOps platform outages, GitProtect.io has launched its Downtime Cost Calculator for DevOps.

Disruptions happen far more frequently than anticipated. According to GitProtect's DevOps Threats Unwrapped 2026 report, DevOps platforms experienced 9,255 hours of downtime in 2025. Critical outages rose 225% year-over-year, while patched vulnerabilities increased by 43% in the second half of 2025 compared to the first.

When systems fail, costs add up quickly. Across industries, downtime averages $5,600 per minute, reaching $1 million per hour for Fortune 1000 companies. For DevOps teams specifically, ITIC found 90% of mid-size and large firms put the cost of downtime above $300,000 per hour.

Meanwhile, security threats are escalating. AI-driven data loss grew by 43% over the last six months, becoming the fastest-growing threat to codebases. Additionally, the average ransomware recovery cost reached $1.53 million, with only 53% of victims recovering within a week. Yet, reputational damage often outlasts technical disruption, as 70% of customers state they would abandon a brand following a data breach.

Built directly on 2025 outage data from major DevOps platforms, GitProtect's calculator gives organizations an eye-opening picture of their financial risk based on current threat environments. By selecting the DevOps platform used and answering a few short questions about team size and hourly rates, organizations receive a customized downtime cost estimate in seconds.

To bridge the gap between awareness and action, the calculator also features an interactive real-time Cyber Resilience Score assessment, providing a tailored diagnosis of the organization's  resilience level based on their unique inputs.

"DevOps platforms are not invincible, and relying solely on their native availability is a financial gamble," said Daria Kulikova, Partnership & Project Marketing Manager at GitProtect. "We built this calculator to strip away guesswork and give companies data-backed visibility into potential losses."

Calculate your potential outage costs and assess your cyber resilience today with the GitProtect Downtime Cost Calculator.
