The costs of developing a cybersecurity program can vary on the type of business that a person may have. One general cost is for detection, this is typically like software to detect any type of intrusion or entry where someone doesn’t have access. Another cost is the investigative cost, a business would hire people to investigate the threat or the suspect that attacked the system. They would typically only investigate and report back to the hire-ups where they decide what will happen with that employee or any new policies they need to implement. Another cost is for containment, a business wants to contain, for example a virus from spreading to different computers or servers, usually they would get rid of those computers a replace them. Another cost is the recovery costs, these costs are what help a business get back on its feet after an attack. This maybe buying new software, hiring new employees such as security or techs, or buying new equipment. Some other costs if the programs are not implemented properly is lost in revenue or damaged equipment. Lost revenue can have lasting impacts, when customers see that there is a data breach, then they might be suspicious on doing any businesses because they might think their personal information might get in the wrong hands. The benefits of developing a cybersecurity program often outweighs the risks, for example it can be used as deterrence. For example, with a clear, explicit plan on how to handle situations can often deter people from committing attacks. With a laid-out plan with certain security measures can show customers that the business has thought their security through and lead to an uptick in sales because the competing company may not have that. Another benefit for have a thought-out cybersecurity program, is protecting assets, this protects against any major losses such as losing complete systems and it costing millions of dollars to replace.
