Return on Investment (ROI): A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency or profitability of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments. In a security context, ROI could refer to the benefits gained from investments in security measures weighed against their cost. It helps organizations justify the necessity of security expenditures by demonstrating their value in terms of risk reduction, loss prevention, and compliance.
