HEIMDAL's Return on Investment (ROI) reports provide a transparent look at the financial impact of your cybersecurity suite. The Return on Investment (ROI) reports are considered essential analytics tools and are useful because they review the costs saved by your organization by using the HEIMDAL Security suite. On this page, you can see charts about the DNS Security, Patch & Assets Management, Endpoint Detection, Privileges & App Control, Remote Desktop, Email Protection, and Threat hunting & Action Center. On top, you have a summary of the ROI Report: Below the summary, you get a chart for each product detailing the saved costs per category:
DNS Security
This is calculated based on the avoided costs of malware breaches, system restoration, and data leak tracking, considering the financial and time costs. Estimated cost: 1,400 EUR/incident at a 0.085% breach rate/attack.
- DNS-E formula:
Blocked Traffic Requests * 1.2 EUR - DNS-N formula:
Blocked Traffic Requests * 1.4 EUR
VectorN Detection
This is calculated based on the savings on the probability of infection avoided through advanced malware pattern detection. Estimated cost: 40 EUR saved per malware pattern.
- VectorN Endpoint formula:
Malware Pattern Detections * 40 EUR - VectorN Network formula:
Malware Pattern Detections * 40 EUR
3rd Party Patch Management
This is calculated based on the average cost (EUR 75,000 wage/year) of a Central European IT employee working with a non-automated patch management system in a 1,000-device environment with a workload of 4 software packages/month, 48,000 updates/year, including implementation and follow-up.
- 3rd Party Patch Management formula:
Total number of applied patches (Windows, Mac, Linux) * 1.02 EUR
Operating System Updates
This is calculated based on the average cost (EUR 75,000 wage/year) of a Central European IT employee working with Microsoft Intune in a 1,000-device environment. This also considers a workload of 30 patches/month, 360,000 updates/year, including implementation and follow-up.
- OS Updates formula:
Installed updates (Windows, Mac, Linux) * 0.136 EUR
Brute Force Attacks
This is calculated based on the value of blocking attempts based on the statistical likelihood of a ransomware breach (a EUR 2,000 cost) occurring over 50,000,000 attempts.
- Brute Force Attack formula:
BFA Attacks (Public + Private) * 0.00004 EUR
Next-Gen Antivirus detections
This is calculated based on the savings related to avoiding data loss and recovery efforts for every file successfully quarantined. Estimated cost: 20 EUR.
- Next-Gen Antivirus formula:
Infected Files * 20 EUR + Quarantined Files * 20 EUR
Extended Threat Protection (XTP)
This is calculated based on the industry assumption that 1 in 500 flagged detections is a critical malware threat. Estimated cost: 20 EUR saved per detection.
- Extended Threat Protection formula:
XTP Detections * 0.04 EUR
Ransomware Encryption Protection (REP)
This is calculated based on the avoided cost of a ransomware incident (EUR 2,000/endpoint) adjusted for a 1 in 500 detection accuracy rate.
- Ransomware Encryption Protection formula:
REP Alerts * 4 EUR
Privileged Access Management (PEDM + PASM)
This is calculated based on the operational value of securing and automating administrative sessions, which is estimated at EUR 30/session, while the average cost associated with one completed PASM session is EUR 150.
- Privileged Elevation and Delegation Management formula:
Elevations * 30 EUR - Privileged Account and Session Management:
PASM Sessions * 150 EUR
Application Control
This is calculated based on the value of maintaining an Allow/Block ruleset (whether the ruleset is configured to be Enabled or Reporting only) and utilizing pre-approved publisher lists (estimated at EUR 20).
- Application Control formula:
Applied Rules * 5 EUR + Applied GPs with Pre-Approved Publishers * 20 EUR
Email Security
This is calculated based on the avoided cost of malware breaches via email, assuming one breach occurs for every 1,000 malicious emails delivered.
- Email Security formula:
Quarantined + Rejected Emails * 1.5 EUR
Remote Desktop
This is calculated based on the operational and security value provided for each secure Remote Desktop session.
- Remote Desktop formula:
RD Sessions (Attented sessions, Unattended sessions, Invite sessions) * 150 EUR
Threat-hunting & Action Center (TAC)
This is calculated based on the labor savings of the time it takes an IT professional (EUR 75,000 wage/year) to manually hunt and respond to an incident (approx. 2 minutes per alert).
- Threat-hunting & Action Center formula:
TAC Notifications (Resolved resolutions) * 1.1 EUR
Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR)
This is calculated based on the estimated security value provided by Managed Extended Detection and Response, which is estimated at 0.25 per investigated, actioned, and resolved alert.
- Managed Extended Detection and Response formula:
MXDR Detections (Investigated, Actioned, Resolved resolutions) * 0.25 EUR
