That's a good point, Shelton. It could be a combination of both B and D.

But wouldn't option D also be valid? That percentage could be used for future security investments.

I'm leaning towards option B as well. The CISO's job is to protect the organization's assets, which includes financial resources.

Haha, I bet the CISO wishes their budget had a direct correlation with the statement of retained earnings! If only it were that easy.

I'm not sure I understand the connection between the CISO's budget and the statement of retained earnings. Isn't that more of an accounting thing?
