Cybersecurity in this day in age is a necessity for any company using the internet or technology. The main benefit for this is security itself. Passwords are not the most secure way of protecting things. Making sure employees of a company are well trained in being able to identify and try to get rid of threats helps tremendously. For a lot of companies, money is the most important thing to keep secure. In terms of age younger people tend to expect more security which could affect certain businesses that produce a service. In developing programs, the benefits will always outweigh the costs. A breach in security for a small business can ruin the whole company. An example of this involves social media. Social media such as Facebook, twitter, and google accounts are something that nearly everyone uses. If any of these accounts are compromised, they can have access to a lot of information including things like credit card info and addresses among other things. A cost that can affect a company is making its customers conform to more security making it less convenient. Even though more security is a good thing a lot of people prefer convenience rather than security. This is a major reason why cybersecurity programs are needed for businesses. Keeping businesses employees informed and using things like multi factor authentication can be a cheaper way to make sure data is secure. This is much better than using only passwords. Like I said earlier having a cybersecurity program is always a good option for any business with important data or information. Data breaches are a common thing for a lot of companies the idea is to minimize the damage. If businesses do not take the correct precautions in either building programs or training their employees, the risk becomes greater with time and money.
