There are positive and negative side effects that involve developing cybersecurity programs in businesses. There are higher costs but good benefits that can come with it.

A negative side is the costs of a cybersecurity program in a business, it can be very expensive. Products that are needed to start a cybersecurity program business can add up quickly with the prices of the different software and electronic equipment that is needed. In a business dealing with cybersecurity, an individual needs multiple things like computers, compliance service, firewalls, information technology (IT) protection, software developments, system design, anti-virus, scanning, and other devices. These different types of equipment will be efficient to create a cybersecurity program. The cost does not all go towards the equipment but also the work and issues that are put into creating the program. By creating a program, an individual might need to find a trusted partner along with employees to train to use the new program. When developing such new programs, there will be issues that come along with it. A program can crash; therefore, making sure the individual has created the correct storage or cloud will be important. There can also be issues with malfunctioning, this will take time and money to go through to fix the issues.

Developing cybersecurity programs in a business can also create a positive benefiting effect. Once the program is created and running efficiently, that program can be worth a lot. The owner of the program will be able to charge other cybersecurity businesses thousands of dollars to use that one program. The benefit of spending the money used to create the program’s business will be reimbursed. If a cybersecurity program gets popular with many companies using it, that will create more business along with money. A benefit with the more business the program gets, the more customers trust that business. Having a reliable program will benefit cybersecurity workers in their own business to increase production.
