There are many costs & benefits of developing cybersecurity programs in business. Some benefits include securing the confidentiality of your business. It is important to remain confidential because there are certain things that the public should not know about a business. Certain things being leaked, including a customer’s private information could be very damaging to the company. Another benefit is avoiding any legal issues that could occur without having a cybersecurity program. Again, anything that could be leaked could cause a lot of trouble which could cause lawsuits. Some of the costs could be law suit costs, investigation costs, business disruption, containment costs, etc.

You can tell if a computer is safe if they ask for multiple complicated passwords to each program, including the one when logging in. A password protected computer is usually a safe one.
