Citalid's Cyber Budget Decisions is a platform module that enables organizations to quantify cybersecurity risk in financial terms and use that data to justify, optimize, and manage security budgets. The platform allows security teams to model risk scenarios using financial indicators, enabling budget decisions to be grounded in measurable data rather than technical urgency or abstract risk matrices. It translates technical risk data into KPIs and financial metrics that are accessible to non-technical stakeholders such as finance departments and executive leadership. Key functional areas include: - Integrated Budget Management: Model budgets directly in the platform and manage a security roadmap aligned with available budget pools. - Cost Assessment of Existing Solutions: Input direct and indirect costs of existing security solutions to measure their financial impact. - Security Roadmap Cost Simulation: Simulate costs associated with planned security improvements and visualize required budget effort. - Investment-to-Risk Reduction Ratio: Analyze each investment's value based on its impact on reducing financial exposure. - Financial Provisioning: Quantify potential financial impact of risks to justify provisioning needs and support liquidity planning in the event of a major incident. - ROSI Modeling: Model the return on security investment (ROSI) for each security initiative to build investment cases comparable to standard business projects.
