Top 9 Cybersecurity Metrics to Track in 2024
This article outlines nine key cybersecurity metrics for tracking security operations across detection, investigation, and response workflows: data source visibility and diversity, MITRE ATT&CK coverage, false-positive rate, anomalous safe rate, threat hunting success rate, mean time to resolve, close rate, and playbook execution. The article explains how these metrics serve different organizational roles, from CISOs communicating security posture to boards, to security leaders informing strategy, to analysts optimizing daily operations. Monitoring these KPIs enables organizations to assess their security maturity, benchmark against peers, and drive continuous improvement in incident response effectiveness.
Why it matters: Security leaders and practitioners need a framework for measuring security operations effectiveness to justify resource allocation, identify gaps in detection coverage, reduce alert fatigue, and demonstrate the value of security investments to executive leadership.
