Protecting a company's digital assets is an important aspect of any manager's role, especially given the growing rate of cybercrime around the globe.
But the simple fact is that the measures taken by a firm in terms of vulnerability management need to be kept in line with the information that is being protected.
Just like real-world security considerations, the cost of digital security needs to be measured up against its benefits.
As an example, the details of a high-profile project that is not meant for public consumption would understandably be subject to a high degree of protection simply due to the fact that the value would be lost if it was made available in the outside world.
Of course, this is not to mention the intangible costs associated with a high-profile breach that comes with a loss of stakeholder confidence.
Calculating the potential expenses of these factors makes it easy to see which parts of an enterprise's digital assets are worth protecting, and which areas are of lesser concern.
From there, professional advice can be sought in regards to the level of security that is appropriate to each element involved – and the costs factored in as a matter of course.
