Cybersecurity has grown quite a lot over the passed few years and consequently, businesses have integrated it into their normal budget. Doing this has had great beneficial ramifications. However, it hasn’t been done without costs. Some of the benefits of this integration include, proprietary data is now more secured and theft of this data has decreased because of it, private users can now rest assured that their information isn’t likely subject to theft as well, and finally, it has been the tip of the spear in setting standards for businesses to adhere to. Though, as mentioned above, there are costs to doing this. For example, many standards that are put in place do not apply to certain businesses and therefore, those companies are required to spend more than what they need. Another thing to consider is that many  businesses do not think they require the standards put in place and a causality of this is that they ignore the predefined standards; leaving the customers subject to personal data theft and the company out of thousands of dollars in the event of a data breach. I believe that it is important for different standards to be applied to different businesses. For example, a small business such as a family store who’s only network is their point-of-sale system, shouldn’t be held in the same regard as a large corporation who’s network spans across large geographic area. The small business should have a simplified security policy that is catered directly towards them. This would allow the business to allocate funds to other important aspects, such as insuring adequate benefits for their employees. As for a larger company, the security policy’s complexity should be synchronous with the complexity of the network. In this case, the complexity would quite high and therefore the allocated budget would likely be a lot higher.
