Security Metrics and Key Performance Indicators Questions

Define, measure, and interpret operational metrics and key performance indicators for security operations and security programs. Topics include detection rate, mean time to detect, mean time to respond, false positive rate, alert volume, analyst workload and queue depth, time to containment, and coverage of critical telemetry sources.
