Security metrics is a set of measurements used to measure an organization’s security posture. Metrics are used to inform decision–makers, validate or predict outcomes, and provide context into the overall security posture of an organization. Security metrics can encompass both technical and non–technical areas such as network security, policy compliance, and user behavior. Security metrics are important for organizations to understand their security risk profile, measure the effectiveness of their security initiatives, and to pinpoint areas where improvements need to be made.
