 "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  A new report published by the Aberdeen Group shows vulnerability management, as much as one may dislike the thought of having to do it, is a necessary function for any organization with business operations that involve Internet-facing networks, computers, and application software.  The full report can be found viewed at: http://www.aberdeen.com/summary/report/benchmark/5231-RA-vulnerability-management-assess.asp |
