According to Radicati Group, 30 percent of corporate users are infected with malware every year. By employing the defense-in-depth strategy, taking the outer layer serious (Policy, Procedures and Awareness) and deploying effective security awareness training, organizations can reduce the risk of security incidents dramatically. The numbers are shocking. The average 1,000 employee organization spends over $287,000 per year defending against and cleaning up after malware attacks. In these economic times, any measure that drives down those costs means more budget to invest elsewhere.
Let's look at those numbers for just a moment, that's $287 per employee per year. And that is for organizations of around 1,000 employees which benefit from economies of scale. For smaller organizations the cost per employee is likely higher. If you could spend $15 per employee per year for effective security awareness training , which could cut the number of malware infections dramatically, the return on investment is likely to be the most solid of your whole security budget.
