In today’s digital age, enterprises face a relentless barrage of cyber threats. Protecting your valuable data and maintaining operational continuity requires more than just reactive measures—it demands a proactive, data-driven approach. That’s where cybersecurity metrics come in, offering a clear view of your security health.
Key Metrics for Enterprise Security:
- Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs):
- Track detection rates (e.g., “Number of detected APT attempts per quarter”), dwell time (e.g., “Average time to detect and contain an APT”), and incident response effectiveness (e.g., “Percentage of APT-related incidents fully remediated”).
- Ransomware Defense:
- Monitor backup integrity (e.g., “Frequency of successful data restores”), vulnerability patching (e.g., “Average time to patch ransomware-related vulnerabilities”), and employee awareness (e.g., “Percentage of employees completing ransomware awareness training”).
- Cloud Security:
- Analyze access controls (e.g., “Number of unauthorized cloud access attempts”), configuration vulnerabilities (e.g., “Number of misconfigured cloud resources”), and data encryption status (e.g., “Percentage of cloud data encrypted at rest and in transit”).
- Supply Chain Security:
- Track third party vendor risk assessments (e.g. “Percentage of vendors with up to date security assessments”), and monitor for anomalies in data transfer (e.g. “Number of unexpected data transfers to third parties”).
- Data Exfiltration Prevention:
- Monitor data loss prevention (DLP) alerts (e.g., “Number of DLP alerts triggered per month”), user behavior analytics (UBA) anomalies (e.g. “Number of flagged unusual user access patterns”), and network traffic analysis (e.g. “Volume of unusual outbound network traffic”).
Dashboards:
- Visualise key metrics for real-time insights, such as a dashboard displaying the “Real-time status of critical security controls” and “Trends in security incident volume”.
Threats to Watch:
- Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)
- Ransomware
- Cloud-based attacks
- Supply chain attacks
- Data Exfiltration
