Mean Time to Detect (MTTD)
The average time it takes to identify the occurrence of an incident or a breach in security.
Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) is a key performance indicator in cybersecurity and incident response.
It measures the effectiveness of an organization's monitoring and detection capabilities. A lower MTTD indicates a more efficient system for detecting security incidents.
Improving MTTD often involves enhancing security tools, training personnel, and refining processes to quickly recognize and respond to threats.
