How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the number of users and devices in the environment.
  2. Set the number of applications requiring zero-trust access controls.
  3. Input current VPN and perimeter security tool costs for comparison.
  4. Review estimated zero-trust implementation cost and ongoing licensing.
  5. Calculate the break-even period versus maintaining the current perimeter-based architecture.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Employees = 500, Current Infrastructure = 2, Migration Scope = 2, Cloud-First Strategy = 1 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate First Year Total
    First Year Total = totalAnnualLicensing + implementationCost + professionalServices + trainingCost
    644500 = $644,500
  3. Calculate 3-Year TCO
    3-Year TCO = totalAnnualLicensing * 3 + implementationCost + professionalServices + traini...
    1064500 = $1,064,500
  4. Calculate Annual Licensing
    Annual Licensing = annualIam + annualEdr + annualNetwork + annualSase + annualDlp
    210000 = $210,000
  5. Calculate Implementation
    Implementation = totalAnnualLicensing * migrationMult * scopeMult
    315000 = $315,000
