Calculating Your Return on Security – Insights Revealed
Posted by Michael Applebaum in In the Industry, Security Intelligence, Webinars
The value of advanced security solutions might be apparent to infosec professionals, but they often need to justify such purchases to senior management. Budgets are always tight and the CISO, let alone the CIO, can only fund a fraction of the project proposals he receives. That’s why customers often ask us to help them estimate the return on investment (ROI) provided by SIEM and Security Intelligence.
We recently had the pleasure of working with IANS Research, who performed a study of the Return on Security (ROS) obtained by Q1 Labs customers. IANS faculty member Diana Kelley joined me in a lively webinar last week, in which she revealed those findings and shared tips on how organizations can perform their own ROS estimates.
I gleaned two critical sets of information from the white paper and webinar:
- A formal structure for analyzing the costs and benefits associated with Security Intelligence deployments
- Hard data (costs and benefits) based on the experiences of Q1 Labs customers
With these two elements, you have the foundation to conduct your own ROI / ROS analysis. View the webinar today to see how.
In the interest of sharing best practices, we’d also like to hear from you, our valued readers. How have you conducted ROI and ROS analyses in your own organization?
