TOPIC: The Economics and Value of IT Security

Given the dramatic escalation of security-related risks over the last decade, IT security has become increasing critical to organizations, yet many organizations have done little to effectively manage the risk associated with information and information processing resources. Properly managing this risk requires an understanding of the economics and value of IT security. This presentation covers the logic of IT security from an economic point of view; the more closely aligned with critical business drivers an IT security practice is, the more viable it is from an economic perspective. Additionally, this presentation explains ways of measuring the value of IT security and ensuring that security investments yield suitable returns.
