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 James C.
