  • Evaluating the Cost of Personnel Activities in Cybersecurity Management: A Case Study

    Publication

    - Year 2020

    The methods of cybersecurity costs' evaluation are inclined towards the cost of incidents or technological acquirements. At the same time, there are other, less visible costs related to cybersecurity that require proper recognition. These costs are associated with the actions and the time spent by employees on activities connected to cybersecurity management. The costs form a considerable component of cybersecurity expenditures,...
