When it comes to cybersecurity, communicating metrics to both technical and non-technical audiences has become paramount. Cybersecurity metrics play a critical role in helping agencies understand their security performance, identify vulnerabilities, and prioritize security investments.

In the past, the approach to cybersecurity was “don’t let it get in the way of our work.”

Today, sophisticated threats have elevated cybersecurity to a strategic requirement integral to most agencies, with heavy scrutiny on CISOs to prove the efficacy of their programs and optimize their resources. In turn, this means that generic approaches to cybersecurity measurement are no longer effective.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the most common and most important metrics that your agency should track
Understand the differences between metrics that are closely connected and why both should be used, such as Mean Time to Discovery (MTTD) and Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR)
Outline ways that metrics can be used to identify and reinforce organizational priorities and IT investments
