Security Budget Allocated per Employee

The Security Benchmark Report captures information on security budgets and total reported employees in the global enterprise. To calculate security budget allocated per employee across security programs in the Manufacturing, Pharma, Agriculture/Food and Logistics sectors, the security budget was divided by the total number of employees in the enterprise, before finding the average percent among the market sector. It should be noted that, while this can be used as a comparison among other security programs in your sector, sectors vary widely on a number of factors, including employee size, whether they are consumer facing, etc. High and low outliers and information that appeared inaccurate were excluded from this equation.
