Join Mike Chapple for an in-depth discussion in this video Metrics and measurements, part of CySA+ Cert Prep: 4 Security Governance.
- [Narrator] Organizations evaluate their security programs…through the use of metrics, that assess the efficiency…and effectiveness of critical security controls.…These measurements provide insight into the health…of the security program, both at a single point in time…and over a long term basis.…It's critical that organizations define the metrics…and performance measurements they will use…in advance of reporting the data.…This ensures the integrity of the process…and prevents the cherry picking of favorable results…for reporting purposes.…

Providing a yardstick to evaluate the past success…
