Measure Security and Its Impact on the Mission

Measure Security and Its Impact on the Mission

Government entities struggle not just to measure the effectiveness of their cybersecurity controls, but also how their metrics align to the agency's unique mission. Matt Alderman and John Chirhart of Tenable Network Security offer advice.

Part of the challenge is being able to identify the right metrics, says Alderman, Tenable's VP of Strategy. "One of the big challenges most organizations have is - based on the business or mission objectives - what are the appropriate metrics I should be measuring, and therefore how does that equate into my security program?"

Another issue is that too often leaders are seeking a single dashboard to compare metrics among organizations or agencies - but no two missions are exactly alike, so the comparison is pointless, says Chirhart, Technical Director - Federal.
