When it comes to budgeting for IT security, the priorities must be clear.

What to spend on and what not to?

Should you invest in the latest up-to-date anti-virus software or get the fancy new firewall?

Well, to answer these questions one must first look at what currently consumes the greatest portion of your IT security spending or budget.

And it's no surprise that these top IT security spending priorities are the same things that keep all of our data safe from cyber criminals: firewalls, virus protection software, encryption services, and more!

So when it comes to safeguarding your network, remember to invest wisely: use the right IT security spending KPI metrics to make sure those cyber ghouls won't be getting inside your system!
