Cost of insider threats vs. investment in proactive education and technology

The strength of an investment is

normally measured by the certainty and size of return it will provide. The proposals with the most profitability potential usually win; which is what makes cybersecurity proposals such a hard-won investment. When pitching for an investment almost every department will emphasize the urgency of their need for funds, and often they can prove profitability.
However, in security an investment does not provide more revenue normally, but it does provide savings during the inevitable cyber attack. In the security discipline we usually call this loss prevention, while in business this falls under the category of opportunity cost. When executives talk about opportunity cost, they are attempting to measure the value of one investment option against another one.
