If you are not one of these businesses and have a cybersecurity program in place that you want to scale based on your emerging business needs but have been unable to justify the costs to your team, you should monitor cybersecurity KPIs. With so many of them around, it can be difficult to pick the best ones to follow, especially if you don’t know much about them.
This blog will teach you about the critical cybersecurity KPIs that your company should monitor in order to justify its cybersecurity investments.
1. Number of Security Incidents
Count the number of cybersecurity attacks that have been launched against your company. It may appear to be a trivial number, but it can provide a clear picture of how effective your cybersecurity systems are in dealing with this cyberattack. If you look a little deeper, you can learn about the types of cyberattacks that are targeting your company.
2. Time to Identify
Meantime to identify is a critical metric that indicates how long it takes to detect suspicious activity or cybersecurity attacks. Hackers won’t need much time to carry out their malicious plans, so it’s critical to have effective threat detection systems in place that raise the red flag as soon as they detect anything suspicious.
3. Time to Decide
It is now time to respond to an incident that you have identified. How long does it take you to respond to a cyberattack? As with identifying time, the lower the number, the better. Your cybersecurity team should plug all of your system’s vulnerabilities so that hackers cannot exploit them.
4. Customer Impact
What effect does the cyberattack have on customers? This should be the most important question that businesses ask. This KPI can provide you with the answer, but it is difficult to track. The reason for this is that the impact of cyberattacks is dispersed across multiple channels, departments, and can take various forms.
