Abstract

Setting aside capital to invest in Information Technology (IT) security is critical in the current digital age. In almost all large (or small) corporations, it is prudent to allocate a sufficient amount of resources to IT infrastructure. However, it is often difficult to determine at what level it is appropriate to invest in IT security in addition to the point at which the rate of return of this investment begins to diminish. This chapter examines methods to help determine the appropriate investment allocation to IT security in addition to how to apply these methods. It also looks at some of the assumptions and pitfalls of each.
