Security Sounds Good, But Does It Make Me Money?

Lockergnome has an excellent article on the discussion of return on investment (ROI) on security.

Man this article made be laugh as I shook my head and chanted.. "I hear ya".

Prevention is the only way to protect the intangible information assets of a business, the soft, squishy stuff that accounts for up to 80% of its value (Wleugel, Dowdall, Grange 2003). Prevention means building information security into your business processes, aligning your policies with those of your suppliers, hardening your systems, and educating staff.

Ever wonder why I write intrusion prevention software for a living? :)
