Does anyone have any current or recent documentation on the cost of the
*lack* of adequate information security, or pointers to papers that
describe the cost?  I'm especially looking for the negative costs - down
time or idle time (equating to lost work time), lost data/information,
bad press or reputation damage, etc.  I know that some of these are
difficult to specify an exact dollar amount, but I am trying to get some
general ideas.  I will certainly be scanning websites - SANS, CERT,
etc., but I would not be surprised that this community has tons of
resources at its collective fingertips!

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Jim
