This is a very pertinent question. My reply would be :
How much money would you evaluate a security incident on your Cisco device ?
Because, the fundamental questions are :
a) How much value does your network bring to your business ?
b) How much money are you ready to spend to ensure its security ?
Conclusion : if you can't reply to these fundamental questions, hire a
CISO and build a CSIRT.
Best Regards,
Guillaume FORTAINE
