Information Security Metrics

Measurement Aligns Security to the Business

Information rich communication is essential in aligning a security organization’s objectives with those of the business. CISOs determine key performance indicators for security that meet the requirements of the business as well. While every organization may use a different set of metrics to evaluate their controls, security posture or return on investment, they must all begin by automating the steps required to generate metrics.
