title: Cost versus investment: how does the C-suite view the security function?
abstract: Is security an investment or a cost? Since the preventative value of security is difficult to prove, each professional security practitioner must do his or her best to take existing data and translate it into a language that the C-Suite will understand, the author says. In this article he describes ways that appropriate resourcesfor security in the healthcare environment can be validated.
