The question is how do you measure this spend?

I notice most answered  <$1000 so far.
In another poll, the average was around $2700 per employee - across many industries i.e. insurance, financial services, retail, etc. 
Maybe tech companies spend less than other industries 🤔

Might also be thinking about what constitutes a “cybersecurity” spend to each industry. A lot of tools that have security benefits are enablers to tech companies to drive value, where other industries might consider them security related expenses. 🤔

Agree— bit of a loose definition
