What is the economic impact of adding an External Attack Surface Management platform<\/a> to your 2024 cybersecurity roadmap?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because data breach crystal balls do not exist, calculating a cybersecurity budget can test the mettle of even the most breach hardened CISO. As large economic trends tug more heavily on business priorities, CISOs are increasingly being forced to strike a balance between OpEx versus OpSec spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Total Economic Impact Of The CyCognito Platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now a recently released study, commissioned by CyCognito and conducted by Forrester Consulting, gives security team leaders actionable budgeting guidance for projecting a three-year total economic impact an External Attack Surface Management (EASM) platform would have on a large enterprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study, The Total Economic Impact Of The CyCognito Platform\u2122, illustrates how an EASM platform can address nagging cybersecurity issues such as long risk remediation times, shadow IT, scarce security expertise and the growing challenge firms face getting their arms around their\u00a0entire attack surface and protecting it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Study Based on Real-World Scenarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 27-page study is chock full of data insights based on dozens of real-world scenarios among four existing CyCognito customers interviewed by Forrester. Forrester created a representative example customer based on the data from all four that it calls a \u201ccomposite\u201d organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the Forrester study commissioned by CyCognito, found a representative business can achieve a 490% return on their EASM solution investment (ROI) within three years with the CyCognito platform. Once deployed, CyCognito\u2019s EASM platform can help security teams achieve meaningful reductions in time spent managing IT assets and related labor costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
