Establish and
Track KPIs
Measure, track, and control cybersecurity
performance and overall threat exposure.
Generic Baselines Are No Longer Enough
The lack of standardization in cybersecurity metrics and benchmarks make it difficult to establish
a common baseline for KPIs. The dynamic nature of cybersecurity means that KPIs must be constantly
updated and adjusted to remain relevant. Different organizations may have varying definitions of what
constitutes a secure environment; and different business priorities and risk tolerance levels.
Aligning cyber KPIs with the overall business strategy requires defining, quantifying,
and updating those KPI’s.
