McAfee Desktop Firewall products provide an extremely positive return on investment (ROI) according to Computer Economics. Calculating the ROI was a multiple-step process. First, Computer Economics examined the cost of dealing with worm attacks, hacking, and unauthorized access that causes damage, and cleaning and recovering systems, as well as the lost productivity experienced by end users because systems are not available. This is the cost that organizations want to avoid and what the firewall products are designed to prevent. Second, the cost to acquire the firewall products and install and maintain the products was established. The cost was subtracted from the damage expected to occur without protection in place.
