As cybersecurity demands increase, security teams face pressure to demonstrate the business value of their initiatives. Despite larger security budgets approved by boards, executives seek insights on financial exposure and operational impact resulting from breaches. The average cost of a breach has soared to $4.88 million, emphasizing the need for security leaders to adopt a Business Value Assessment (BVA) model, which ties cybersecurity risks to quantifiable business outcomes. Traditional security metrics have fallen short as they often reflect activity rather than actual risk reduction, failing to resonate with business leaders.
Security teams face growing demands with more tools, more data, and higher expectations than ever.
The average cost of a breach has reached $4.88 million, reflecting not just incident response but also downtime, lost productivity, and customer attrition.

Most security metrics were built for operational teams, not business leaders, failing to answer critical questions about the financial impact of breaches.
