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 these sectors, the security budget was divided by the total number of employees in the enterprise, before finding the average among responses in this sector.. High and low outliers or information that appeared to be inaccurately reported were removed from this equation. 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.
