select the appropriate measures for particular security level needed. The research question for this research project is – “How is it possible to calculate IT security effectiveness?”. The aim of this research is to use this reference model to calculate and to optimize major university’s and a small CSP-s (Cloud Service Provider) security posture and their spending’s on security measures. Aim is to develop a reference model to support IT Security team and business side to make reasoned and optimal decisions about IT security and all that with a reasonable number of manhours. In this Graded Security Expert System (GSES) aka Graded Security Reference Model (GSRM) the quantitative metrics of the graded security approach are used to express the relations between security goals, security confidence and security costs. What makes this model unique, is the option to use previous customers security templates/models

But the key to making the right decision, says Lees, is to bring your dream back down to life with a hard thump. "I always say to people, 'Find out what you will actually be doing in the job of your dreams. What does the nitty-gritty day-to- day work involve?'"
