Abstract

There does not appear to be a common framework for quantifying the impact of information security business disruption events resulting in the loss of availability, confidentiality and/or data integrity. Individual incidents are known to have had costs ranging from 1 million US dollars an hour to a bank loss of close of 6 billion Euro. Given the global nature of supply chains and electronic commerce, deliberate disruption through well conducted attacks could have devastating economic consequences. This chapter explores in some detail the various components of such consequences.
