Mean Time to Acknowledge (MTTA) Definition: Mean time to acknowledge MTTA measures average time from alert to analyst triage, gauging SOC responsiveness alongside MTTD and MTTR.
Mean time to acknowledge MTTA is a security operations metric measuring the average elapsed time between an alert firing and an analyst formally acknowledging and beginning to triage it. It gauges SOC responsiveness, staffing adequacy, and alert-handling efficiency, and is often tracked alongside mean time to detect MTTD and mean time to respond MTTR to identify bottlenecks in the response workflow.
