Return on security investment
Describe your network and risk profile — the calculator sizes the right cybersecurity platform for you and shows whether it pays for itself.
These inputs drive the product recommendation and the comparison baseline.
Pick a threat scenario and you're done — or open "More options" to fine-tune every figure yourself. Hardware and license costs follow the recommended model automatically.

Sizing uses approximate real-world figures: the users ceiling is a comfort guideline and the throughput column reflects performance with UTM services (IPS + anti-malware) enabled, which is far lower than raw throughput. Check the official datasheet for exact numbers, and size up if you expect growth. High Availability is included at no extra license cost on the 200H and above.
ALE = incident cost × incidents/year → losses avoided = ALE × (new mitigation − current mitigation) × years → ROSI = (losses avoided − total cost) ÷ total cost
ROSI is measured against what you have today: an ISP router is treated as unprotected (0%), and an existing IDP/IPS firewall is assumed to lower loss exposure by 10% versus unprotected ("I don't know" assumes a router). Total cost of ownership counts hardware once (twice for an HA pair), plus license and admin costs every year. The mitigation rate estimates how much of your loss exposure the platform's protections (AI-powered threat detection, IPS, anti-malware, sandboxing, content filtering) remove; no cybersecurity solution reaches 100%, especially against phishing and insider threats.
