Risk Management, Qualys, Managing risk and keeping your network secure
Overview
One of the most difficult issues security managers have is justifying how they spend their limited budgets. For the most part, information security budgets are determined by percentages of the overall IT budget. This implies that security is basically a “tax” on IT, as opposed to providing value back to the organization.
The fact is that security can provide value to the organization, if there is a discussion of risk with regard to IT, as much as there is a discussion of risk with regard to all other business processes.
