MTTR measures the average duration between vulnerability detection and complete remediation. A decrease from 15 to 6 days means the organization now closes vulnerabilities sooner, shrinking the window in which attackers could exploit them. The data show no change in MTTD, so detection speed is constant. MTBF is unrelated to vulnerability remediation, and a stable MTTD combined with a lower MTTR does not widen risk exposure-it reduces it.
