Are there any benchmarks for what other companies are spending on cybersecurity?
Yes. In a recent survey, The Meta Group (www.metagroup.com) found that despite tight budgets, average cybersecurity spending, per-company, has more than doubled in the past two years. In their most recent survey, cybersecurity accounted for 8.2% of an average company’s C3 (computer, communications and control) systems budget vs. only 3.2% two years prior.
