Mean Time to Respond MTTR measures average time from threat detection to containment, gauging incident response speed in a SOC.
Mean Time to Respond Definition: Mean Time to Respond MTTR measures average time from threat detection to containment, gauging incident response speed in a SOC.
Mean Time to Respond MTTR is a security operations metric measuring the average time from when a threat is detected to when it is contained, remediated, or fully resolved. It reflects the efficiency of incident response processes, automation, and analyst workflows within a security operations center. Lowering MTTR reduces attacker dwell time and limits the impact of a confirmed incident.
Mean Time to Respond is one of the topics you'll master in the CySA+ Boot Camp.
