Mean Time to Detect MTTD measures average time from malicious activity onset to detection, a key indicator of SOC detection maturity.
Mean Time to Detect Definition: Mean Time to Detect MTTD measures average time from malicious activity onset to detection, a key indicator of SOC detection maturity.
Mean Time to Detect MTTD is a security operations metric measuring the average elapsed time between the onset of malicious activity and the moment defenders identify it. It indicates the effectiveness of monitoring, logging, and detection engineering within a security operations center. A lower MTTD shortens attacker dwell time and is a leading indicator of a mature detection capability.
