A cybersecurity team notices an increase in the number of security incidents caused by a specific type of vulnerability. They have already identified the vulnerable systems and the remediation steps required. What metric should the team focus on to evaluate how efficiently they are resolving these vulnerabilities?
The mean time to remediate (MTTR) metric measures the average time it takes to fully resolve a vulnerability from the moment it is identified. This metric helps teams understand the efficiency and effectiveness of their remediation processes. Focusing on MTTR allows the team to determine if they are getting faster at resolving vulnerabilities, thus minimizing potential risks.
