Cybersecurity ROI: Frequently Asked Questions

Cybersecurity ROI is the cost of covering your alerts, hunts, and tests today minus the cost of the same coverage with Simbian, over three years. This calculator values analyst time at average SOC analyst cost per productive hour ($118 by default) as alerts grow 20% a year, then adds playbook upkeep, hunter hours, and outside pentest fees, and subtracts what the same coverage costs with Simbian. Analyst time is time back for your team, not cash released. Payback is the month cumulative net value turns positive and stays positive.
A SOC of 18 analysts working 4,000 alerts a month costs $4.58M in year one once analyst time on alerts and response, playbook maintenance, threat hunting, and penetration testing are counted, and $6.22M by year three as volume grows 20% a year. Average SOC analyst cost defaults to $165,000, or $118 an hour over 1,400 productive hours; change it in the calculator and the SOC cost moves with it.
An outside penetration test defaults to $18,000 plus $4,000 for a retest, so 10 web applications tested once a year cost $220,000 a year. Simbian's AI Pentest Agent includes retests, so testing each application 4 times a year instead of once costs a modelled $180K less over three years and shrinks the gap between tests from 365 days to 91.
No. The model keeps your current team and never assumes you hire or cut. It values the 22,680 analyst hours Simbian returns a year on alerts and response at $118 an hour, plus 2,376 hunter hours at the hunter rate: about 17.9 analyst-years your team spends on hunting, detection, and the cases that need judgment instead. Your analysts keep containment authority and approve every proposed response. 95% of the responses Simbian proposes are approved by the customer's own analysts. Their call, not ours.
