are critical in the field of Security Operations
Centers (SOCs) as they define the level of
service expected by a customer from a service
provider.

INCIDENT RESPONSE TIME
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The time taken from when a security
incident is first detected to when the response
process begins. Goal Minimize the response time
to mitigate the impact of the incident. Measuremen
t Time in minutes/hours from detection to
response initiation.
4
INCIDENT RESOLUTION TIME
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The time taken to resolve a security
incident from the time it was detected. Goal Reso
lve incidents promptly to reduce potential
damage. Measurement Time in minutes/hours/days
from detection to resolution.
5
FALSE POSITIVE RATE
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The percentage of security alerts
that are incorrectly identified as
malicious. Goal Keep the false positive rate low
to avoid wasting resources on non-malicious
activities. Measurement (Number of False
Positives / Total Number of Alerts) 100.
6
INCIDENT ESCALATION RATE
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The percentage of incidents that
require escalation to higher-level security
analysts or other teams. Goal Maintain a low
escalation rate by effectively handling incidents
at the initial level. Measurement (Number of
Escalated Incidents / Total Number of Incidents)
100.
7
DETECTION ACCURACY
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The ratio of true positives to the
total number of alerts generated. Goal The ratio
of true positives to the total number of alerts
generated. Measurement (Number of True Positives
/ Total Number of Alerts) 100. Target 95
accuracy.
8
TIME TO DETECT (TTD)
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The average time taken to detect a
threat from the time of its occurrence. Goal Redu
ce the Time to Detect to minimize the dwell time
of threats. Measurement Average time in
minutes/hours from threat occurrence to
detection. Target Less than 30 minutes.
9
COVERAGE BREADTH
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The extent of the organizations
network, systems, and applications covered by
threat detection tools and processes. Goal Achieve
comprehensive coverage to avoid blind
spots. Measurement Percentage of organizational
assets covered. Target 100 coverage.

THREAT INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise

• Definition
• The degree to which external threat intelligence
  feeds are integrated into the SOC for enhanced
  detection.
• Goal
• Regularly update and integrate threat
  intelligence for timely detection of emerging
  threats.
• Measurement
• Frequency and recency of threat intelligence
  updates.
• Target
• Daily updates and integration.

11
USER BEHAVIOR ANALYTICS (UBA)
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The implementation and effectiveness
of UBA tools in detecting anomalous user
behavior. Goal Detects insider threats and
compromised accounts through behavior
analysis. Measurement Number of threats detected
through UBA. Target Continuous improvement in
detection rates.
12
REGULAR DRILLS AND SIMULATIONS
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The frequency of conducting simulated
attack scenarios to test and improve
detection capabilities. Goal Identify areas of
improvement and enhance detection capabilities
through regular practice. Measurement Number of
drills conducted and improvements
made. Target Monthly drills and simulations.
13
TECHNOLOGY STACK UPDATES
www.infosectrain.com
learntorise
Definition The regularity of updating and
upgrading the technology stack used for threat
detection. Goal Stay ahead of adversaries by
utilizing the latest technology. Measurement Frequ
ency of technology stack updates and
upgrades. Target Quarterly updates and upgrades.
