Top security challenges and how to overcome them: Budgetary constraints + demonstrating ROI https://www.jamf.com/blog/overcome-budgetary-constraints-demonstrate-roi/ https://www.jamf.com/blog/overcome-budgetary-constraints-demonstrate-roi/

Not all security challenges come in the form of threat actors that seek to directly (or indirectly) compromise devices, users and data. In fact, among the most challenging and downright frustrating concerns are those that stem from risks that are not addressed due to budgetary matters minimizing an organization's ability to effectively protect its resources. The inability to demonstrate the true value gleaned from security controls through traditional ROI protocols is just as difficult and similarly frustrating…but it doesn’t have to be.
