Cybersecurity Monitoring and Metrics - “You Can’t Manage What You Can’t Measure” Continuously?
Recording Date: July 2020
Cybersecurity monitoring and metrics are keys to measuring cybersecurity performance, improving the ability to respond when incidents occur, and improving cybersecurity maturity. What metrics does your organization use to measure cybersecurity performance? Do you have monitoring in place today to identify security excursions? In this webinar we will break down how leading and lagging indicators can be used to improve cybersecurity monitoring as well as how improved continuous monitoring capabilities are becoming a critical part of the automation cybersecurity lifecycle. This non-vendor specific webinar will provide general guidelines and criteria that can be used for establishing an effective continuous monitoring capability for any system.
