There are many costs and benefits of developing cybersecurity programs. In this the costs are the cons of development while the benefits are the pros. I think that some benefits of developing cybersecurity programs is that you can make a lot of money from these programs. Cybersecurity is a fast growing industry that continues to change as time goes on. Developing programs such as wireshark, metasploit, and nikto. These programs are used to analyze protocol as well as increase security and privacy. Another benefit of creating cybersecurity programs in business is that it creates many jobs for people in the field. Developing a cybersecurity program is very hard to do by yourself and so you need people who understand the vision of what your program is trying to accomplish. Developing these programs makes sure that the right people are allowed to see certain information. These programs also help to make sure that all the weaknesses in the business are protected as well as monitor what happened through the network. The last benefit of developing cybersecurity programs is that they help businesses understand what processes their employees are taking and if they are following the set plans. It allows them to see where the cracks are in their businesses. I think some costs of having these programs is how much money it actually takes to develop these cybersecurity programs. The costs of developing as well as paying the employees that are helping you develop the program can add up, especially if you don’t have any other sources of income. Another cost of developing a cybersecurity program is how long it may take. It can take up to 2 years to create one program. Time, again, goes back to money, the longer it takes to develop the program the more money has to be put into the project. It can also be hard to make sure that your program is doing what it is supposed to do, which again can cost money.
