This month presents Security magazine’s 2021 Security Benchmark Report. In the past, this magazine has published its Security 500. However, this year marks a new approach and a new name to the report, with a new focus on data that security organizations can use to measure their security organizations against their peers.
In this year’s Security Benchmark Report survey, we asked respondents to report overall enterprise revenue or operating budget, security budgets, number of guarding personnel, security technologies, roles, responsibilities, reporting structure and much more. This year’s report also includes averages on “security budget as a percent of revenue” and “security budget per employee.”
