What’s New

  • MTTD - Mean Time to Detect

MTTD measures the average time taken to detect a security incident. This means the time taken to raise a signal after the raw log event for the same has been ingested. MTTD helps in the following:

  1. Early Threat Identification: MTTD allows security teams to assess how quickly they can identify potential security incidents. A lower MTTD means quicker detection, reducing the time attackers have to cause damage.
  2. Reducing Incident Impact: Faster incident detection leads to quicker responses, which can limit the scope of damage, data loss, or disruption. A low MTTD minimizes the window for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities.
  3. Improving Security Posture: MTTD is a key metric in continuous improvement processes. Tracking it over time helps organizations refine detection mechanisms, rules, and policies in their SIEM system to reduce detection times further.
  4. Compliance and Reporting: Many industries have regulations requiring that incidents be detected and reported within a certain timeframe. MTTD ensures that organizations comply with these requirements by providing a measurable way to track detection speed.

Note: The Time to Detect (TTD) will be calculated daily at midnight for each region. TTD values will be calculated for signals generated on or after the feature release date.
