      ab: The authors discuss their research into the efficacy of investing in information security in which they measured the revenues of information security companies that control a primary share of certain information security market segments. The three key market segments were content security, identity and access management (IDAM), and network security. The authors found that increased investment in information security conferred a higher degree of protection and reduced the severity of attacks that could adversely affect corporate stock prices.
