Mean Time to Detect

 MTTD (Mean Time to Detect)

Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) measures how long it takes to identify and report a problem after it occurs. It's a key performance indicator that can help organizations improve security operations, reduce costs, and avoid attacks.

Here's some more information about MTTD:

How it's calculated

MTTD is calculated by dividing the total time spent detecting incidents by the number of incidents.

Why it's important

A low MTTD means an organization can detect and resolve issues faster, leading to better performance, fewer costs, and less downtime.

How it's used

MTTD can be used to evaluate security operations, test new tools and processes, and identify areas for improvement.

Benefits

MTTD can help organizations:

Prevent threats from escalating

Maintain system reliability

Reduce the scope of damage from security incidents

Adhere to compliance

Enhance overall system performance and efficiency
