Calculate Your Attack Deterrence ROI

Calculation Methodology

This calculator uses the Annual Loss Expectancy (ALE) model, the industry-standard approach for quantifying cybersecurity risk:

ALE = SLE × ARO

SLE (Single Loss Expectancy) is sourced from the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, segmented by industry vertical. ARO (Annual Rate of Occurrence) represents the probability of a breach in any given year, with 30% as the default based on Verizon DBIR data.

PFA deterrence savings represent the estimated reduction in ALE based on three scenarios: Best (50%), Moderate (30%), and Conservative (15%) deterrence effectiveness. SOC efficiency savings ($17,680/year) represent an estimated 0.5 FTE reduction in identity-related alert triage.

Note: Projected savings are estimates based on industry benchmarks. Actual results depend on your environment, auth volume, and threat landscape. All statistics sourced and dated.
