Budget and Resources (also “Security Resource Management” or “Security Budget Allocation”) is the strategic management of financial, human, and technological resource allocation for implementing and maintaining security programs, maximizing value and minimizing risk. This management is fundamental for information security governance and requires aligning security investments with business objectives, evaluating the return on investment (ROI) of security initiatives, and optimizing the allocation of limited resources to achieve maximum risk reduction, being essential for justifying security investments to senior management and ensuring that security programs have the necessary resources to be effective.

What is Budget and Resource Management?

Budget and resource management in cybersecurity involves planning, allocating, and monitoring resources to ensure security investments align with business objectives and provide the highest possible return on investment.

Management Components

Financial Budget

  • Budget Allocation: Distribution of funds by categories
  • Security ROI: Return on investment in security
  • Operational Costs: Operation and maintenance costs
  • Technology Investment: Investment in tools and technologies

Human Resources

  • Security Personnel: Specialized security teams
  • Training: Investment in capability development
  • External Consulting: Specialized consulting services
  • Outsourcing: Externalized security services

Technological Resources

  • Security Tools: Security software and hardware
  • Infrastructure: Security infrastructure
  • Licenses: Software and service licenses
  • Maintenance: Maintenance and update costs
