1. What are the costs and benefits of developing cybersecurity programs in business?

• The costs and benefits of a well-developed cybersecurity program in a business would have a lot to do with how protected would the business want to be and what business is exactly up for protection. The costs of a good program for a business would be a good sum of money to provide all the physical and technological assets needed to protect the business, but also a very skilled professional to install everything in for the business. Another cost would be if someone does try and break into those businesses network it could cost them a lot to have to try and rebuild the network from the crash or have to protect it further on down the road to make the network security even stronger than it is now. Some benefits of a program would be the business knowing its protected against whatever may try and break into its network. They would know they have some line of defense so if they needed to pull all their information of onto another database they could, and if the program is as efficient as it says it is then they should be protected for a good while.

2. How can you tell if your computer is safe?

• I know this might sound crazy but I don’t think you can tell at all if your computer is safe. I truly believe that any computer no matter what firewalls and what blockers it has on it, it can never truly be fully safe, I don’t even believe the computers they use for the most secret of information used for United States intelligence are safe. At the end of the day any computer is comprisable, even if you buy it straight from best buy or apple its never guaranteed that a computer is completely and without a doubt safe from any hacker or virus that would want to invade it.
