Every business decision should be driven by data—and cyber security is no exception. In Security Metrics, you'll master the art and science of quantifiable cybersecurity, learning to harness data for enhanced threat detection, response, and mitigation. You’ll turn raw data into meaningful intelligence, better evaluate the performance of your security teams, and proactively address the vulnerabilities revealed by the numbers.

Security Metrics will teach you how to:

  • Align a metrics program with organizational goals
  • Design real-time threat detection dashboards
  • Predictive cybersecurity using AI and machine learning
  • Data-driven incident response
  • Apply the ATLAS methodology to reduce alert fatigue
  • Create compelling metric visualizations

Security Metrics teaches you to implement effective, data-driven cybersecurity practices—including utilizing AI and machine learning for detection and prediction. Throughout, the book presents security as a core part of organizational strategy, helping you align cyber security with broader business objectives. If you’re a CISO or security manager, you’ll find the methods for communicating metrics to non-technical stakeholders invaluable.
