Which indicators should be tracked to analyze vulnerability management in cybersecurity?
To analyze vulnerability management in cybersecurity, key indicators include the number of detected vulnerabilities, severity levels, mean time to remediation (MTTR), patching rates, asset inventory scan coverage, attack surface exposure, remediation delays, vulnerability recurrence rates, compliance with security policies and the effectiveness of continuous scanning tools. These data points help security teams prioritize risks, reduce attack surface and improve remediation speed.
