"Best-in-Class organizations in this study realized excellent marginal returns on their vulnerability management initiatives. For every $1.00 invested in VM, they avoided an estimated $1.91 in vulnerability-related costs, for a marginal ROI of 91%. This compares to $1.43 in avoided costs per $1.00 of investment for all respondents, which is still a very healthy marginal ROI." - Aberdeen Group
