ROI for security spending

(17 Feb 2005)

Security budgets are finite. Security managers may want the latest whiz-bang products and more staff, but they must be able to demonstrate that the money they've already spent is producing a beneficial result. Security managers need a means for proving that the dollar spent today is saving $1+X tomorrow or, in other words, an appreciable return on security investment.

In this webcast Pete Lindstrom will walk attendees through the process of identifying essential data points for measuring the effectiveness of security spending, and then project future spending needs. Attendees will learn how to:

  • Calculate information asset value
  • Collect/analyze recurring security spending
  • Collect/analyze incident costs
  • Compare spending changes with new threat/risk assumptions
