paper provides an analysis of how the benefits of information segmentation can assist
an organization to derive the appropriate amount to invest in cybersecurity
from a cost-benefit perspective. An analytical model based on the framework of
the Gordon-Loeb Model (<span><span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">[1]</span><span></span></span></span><span><span></span></span><span></span><span><span></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">) is presented that provides a set of sufficient conditions for

the expected loss from cybersecurity breaches. A numerical example illustrating
the insights gained from the model is also presented.</span></span></span>
