The major cost of developing cybersecurity programs for a business are monetary in nature.  The job of programmers and developers is one that requires a great deal of skill and proficiency, and depending on the project scale, could also require a great deal of time investment.  A business that wishes to develop a program will have to take both these into consideration, as these professionals know their worth and will charge accordingly.  Unless the business’ main focus is on web or app development, it might not be practical to have in-house developers and programmers to do whatever task the business wants it to.  So many organizations will be forced to search for a developer or team of developers to create the program they want to, which might also cost them a decent amount of time to find the right person or right team to make their project.  The benefits of developing a program in business also include monetary gain.  If the program is one that will be sold, as long as there is demand for the product and it is a high-quality product, then the company will make a good profit off of it.  It can also be good for exposure and growing a business.  If people like the first product that the business came out with, they might be more likely to try the subsequent projects the business undertakes in order to support it and try out new products.  Another added benefit is that a good program can help with business relations.  If the development team is happy working with your business, they might decide to come back and create another high-quality product for you, and if relations are good, might begin to give you an exclusivity discount for working with them.  Your employees could also benefit from the programs if the business offers it to them at a discount or even for free, which could make for a happier workplace environment and lead to more people staying onboard and helping your business grow even more.
