This is a very pertinent question. My reply would be :

How much money would you evaluate a security incident on your Cisco device ?

Because, the fundamental questions are :

a) How much value does your network bring to your business ?

b) How much money are you ready to spend to ensure its security ?

Conclusion : if you can't reply to these fundamental questions, hire a 
CISO and build a CSIRT.

Best Regards,
