Security professionals are trained skeptics. They poke and prod at other people-s digital creations, expecting them to fail in unexpected ways. Shouldn-t that same skeptical power be turned inward? Shouldn-t practitioners ask: -How do I know that my enterprise security capabilities work? Are they scaling, accelerating, or slowing as the business exposes more value to more people and through more channels at higher velocities?- This is the start of the modern measurement mindset-the mindset that seeks to confront security with data.
The Metrics Manifesto: Confronting Security with Data delivers an examination of security metrics with R, the popular open-source programming language and software development environment for statistical computing. This insightful and up-to-date guide offers readers a practical focus on applied measurement that can prove or disprove the efficacy of information security measures taken by a firm.
