1/3 of the IT staff should be dedicated towards security. That doesn't mean that you ness. need to hire that many but 1/3 of the man hours int he department shoudl be dedicated to it.

Hello all.I am preparing a business case for increasing the size of the Information Security department at the company where I work. This is a smaller company with about 700 employees. Right now, I am the security department. :) - I am asking to hire 3 security professionals to augment my load and to allow me to focus on more of the strategic needs and higher level analysis.My question is this: Do any of you know of any published recommendations regarding the size of a security department based on company size? Any guidance in this regard is appreciated.Thanks in advance!
