0:16
How do you effectively measure and
0:18
improve your organization's cyber
0:21
posture the answer lies in mastering the
0:24
right cyber security metrics By focusing
0:27
on these essential KPIs you'll gain the
0:29
insights needed to strengthen your
0:31
defenses respond swiftly to threats and
0:34
ensure your organization's digital
0:36
resilience Step one implement meanantime
0:39
to detect MTD Quickly identify and
0:43
address potential incidents to minimize
0:45
damage Aim for a lower MTD to reduce the
0:48
window of opportunity for
0:50
attackers Step two focus on cyber
0:55
It's not just about blocking threats but
0:58
how quickly and effectively you recover
0:59
when something gets through Develop
1:02
strategies to keep your business running
1:04
and maintain customer confidence even
1:06
during a crisis Step three enhance
1:10
network system and endpoint visibility
1:13
You can't protect what you can't see
1:15
Implement comprehensive monitoring
1:17
across all environments including
1:19
production and development to eliminate
1:22
blind spots and protect critical
1:25
assets Step four utilize the goal
1:31
approach This structured method helps
1:34
tell your cyber value story and supports
1:36
governance needs Develop meaningful
1:39
metrics that indicate program
1:41
effectiveness and answer key questions
1:45
boards Step five calculate and improve
1:48
cost avoidance ratio CAR compare the
1:52
costs of preventing detecting and
1:54
responding to incidents versus potential
1:57
losses A higher CAR reflects a more
2:00
effective cyber security posture and
2:02
demonstrates the value of your proactive
2:06
Step six monitor meanantime between
2:10
MTBF This metric is crucial for gauging
2:13
cyber health and system reliability A
2:16
high MTBF shows that your systems are
2:18
stable and trustworthy which is
2:20
essential for maintaining customer
2:22
confidence and meeting regulatory
2:25
requirements Step seven optimize time to
2:28
contain TTC Swift isolation and
2:32
neutralization of threats are crucial
2:34
for true resilience Invest in automating
2:37
containment actions for common threats
2:39
and conduct crossunctional drills to
2:41
test and improve your response
2:44
time Step eight track reduction in
2:47
successful fishing attempts
2:49
RISPA address the human element in
2:52
security by monitoring the success rate
2:54
of fishing attacks implement robust
2:57
security awareness training and
2:58
technical controls to show a downward
3:03
attempts While implementing these cyber
3:05
security metrics can significantly
3:07
improve your organization's security
3:09
posture there are common pitfalls to
3:11
watch out for Let's explore some of
3:13
these challenges and avoid them Pitfall
3:16
number one over reliance on
3:19
metrics Remember metrics are tools not
3:22
solutions Don't fall into the trap of
3:25
chasing numbers without understanding
3:26
their context Regularly review and
3:29
adjust your metrics to ensure they align
3:31
with your organization's evolving
3:34
goals Pitfalls number two neglecting the
3:38
human factor While technical metrics are
3:41
crucial don't forget about the
3:42
importance of employee awareness and
3:44
training Regularly assess and improve
3:47
your security awareness programs to
3:49
complement your technical defenses
3:51
Pitfall number three failing to adapt
3:55
Cyber threats evolve rapidly and so
3:57
should your metrics Stay informed about
3:59
emerging threats and industry best
4:01
practices Regularly reassess your
4:04
metrics to ensure they capture new and
4:07
risks Pitfall number four ignoring false
4:11
positives While it's crucial to detect
4:13
threats quickly an overabundance of
4:16
false alarms can lead to alert fatigue
4:18
fine-tune your detection systems and
4:20
implement AIdriven analytics to reduce
4:23
false positives and focus on real
4:26
threats By being aware of these common
4:28
pitfalls and taking proactive steps to
4:30
avoid them you can ensure that your
4:32
cyber security metrics truly enhance
4:34
your organization's security posture and
4:37
provide meaningful insights for
4:40
By implementing these metrics and
