When it comes to compliance-related security efforts, the benefits are pretty obvious. Most people would agree that automated approaches would work best, but resource issues and stubbornness at the top make it a somewhat lower priority than you might expect. Aberdeen Group has just issued a report that reiterates the benefits. Nearly 45 percent of "Best-in-Class organizations" reduced the cost associated with non-compliance incidents over the last year; 26% lowered their cost of grappling with security-related incidents. Nearly half were able to lower the number of security incidents. Overall, these marketing points, while interesting, are sort of obvious. But such projects compete with many others, including lots that are also compliance related.
