Résumé

Cost-benefit guidelines for efficiently allocating scarce resources to your organization's cybersecurity program

Cybersecurity breaches are a fact of life in today's interconnected world and the financial and business impact of unauthorized intrusions can be devastating. But how can you know if your firm is committing too much money, or not enough, to protect itself against such unseen hazards?

Managing Cybersecurity Resources provides you with hands-on analysis and answers on this vital question. An invaluable resource for information security managers tasked with establishing cybersecurity initiatives as well as financial managers who must determine how much to allocate to such initiatives, this focused yet wide-ranging book details:

Models that quantify precisely how firms should decide on the right amount to spend on cybersecurity
Concepts and empirical evidence for assessing the real costs of cybersecurity breaches
Strategies for minimizing the impact of negative incidents on company valuation

The Internet is one of the great innovations of the past century. As with all innovations, it presents its users with both unprecedented opportunities and unavoidable perils. Managing Cybersecurity Resources outlines a cost-benefit framework for protecting your organization against the invasion of its information network while leaving you with the resources you need to compete and grow.
