%X Given the importance of cybersecurity to the survival of an organization,
a fundamental economics-based question that must be addressed by all
organizations is: How much should be invested in cybersecurity related
activities? Gordon and Loeb [1] presented a model to address this question, and
that model has received a significant amount of attention in the academic and
practitioner literature. The primary objective of this paper is to discuss the
Gordon-Loeb Model with a focus on gaining insights for the model¡¯s use in a
practical setting.
