Calculating Security ROI Is a Waste of Time

Sunday, April 18, 2004

I was pleased to read Infosec Economics by Lawrence Gordon and Robert Richardson in the 1 Apr 04 issue of Network Computing magazine. This duo says:

"ROI (or bang for the buck) can't be applied perfectly to information security because often the return on information security purchases and deployments is intangible. Sure, companies invest in some solutions that offer benefits beyond security--faster network throughput in a new router that supports VPNs, for example--and they can calculate the ROI of these indirect benefits. But security requires factoring in the expectation of loss."
