Cybersecurity is a business that is in a high demand for people with all types of skills. There are many factors in the cost of cyber security programs, such as: size of company, type of data, products and services, self-install vs. professional install, and professional audits.  Smaller businesses are more vulnerable than bigger businesses. The more employees the more opportunities for people to work. But if you do have more workers there is a bigger chance of cyber-attacks. The more workers the easier it is to solve issues that may need to be solved at a faster rate. The type of data means you will need more secure levels of security such as firewall and other protection. A simple fire wall can cost anywhere from $400 to $6,000. Although this may seem a bit pricey but if you do end up having a virus or malware it will cost more money than that to recover and remove the virus/malware in the end. Some people think of it as a investment. With product and services is where the majority of the money goes. Depending on what you are selling, producing, or preventing determines how much profit you will be making in the long run. There is also the self-install vs. professional install. That is the process in which you either make your own data or a third party sells you the product to sell back. And finally, the professional audits. This is to keep the organization updated and in order. For a company to keep a firewall up and runny they should expect anywhere from $1,500 to $15,000 monthly. You will also have to pay for antivirus software that is fairly cheap and ranges from $3-$8 per month. As well as the software you will also have to pay the hardware and technology for the employees to work on.
