Like testing parachutes or evaluating new safety harnesses, performing a live demonstration to show the power of a solution is not comfortable for any security professional.
Until recently, proving the ROI of security investment has not been a significant issue.
Business leaders want to know not only how security keeps them safe, but also how it makes their business more productive.
Developing an ROI model takes time - my recommendation would be to focus on a simple security project that will return high value to the business when proven successful.
My advice would be to avoid more complex projects, such as firewall upgrades, until the security ROI process is better understood by everyone.
