Organizations face rising cyber risks, and their boards and executives need better metrics to manage those risk effectively. Today’s best measurements, like mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR), are examples of data that boards and executives can leverage to manage cyber risk. However, these measurements are not universally used and more can be done to develop additional simple, fast, accurate, and complimentary metrics, designed to help boards and executives understand and manage cyber risks. These metrics, or Cyber Vital Signs, will enable organizations to more effectively manage cyber risk, and ultimately better serve customers and citizens, as well as build a more secure and resilient digital ecosystem.
