"How much should the government spend on cybersecurity? Two University of Maryland professors of accounting and information assurance know how to answer that question.
In their new book, “Managing Cybersecurity Resources: A Cost-Benefit Analysis” (McGraw-Hill, 2006), Lawrence Gordon, professor of managerial accounting and information assurance at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, and Martin Loeb, professor of accounting and information assurance, describe a rigorous process that government officials can use to make a business case for cybersecurity spending. Although specialized knowledge is necessary for putting numbers into the mathematical models that Gordon and Loeb have developed, they say such expertise is not necessary for managing finite cybersecurity resources."
