The average time between incident detection and containment/remediation actions.
Current Value
8.5 hours
-6% from previous period
Industry average: 12.8 hours
Calculation Method
Sum of response times for all incidents / Total number of incidents
Significance
MTTR measures how quickly your team can respond to and contain security incidents after detection. A lower MTTR indicates more efficient incident response processes.
Definition
The average time between incident detection and containment/remediation actions.
Significance
MTTR measures how quickly your team can respond to and contain security incidents after detection. A lower MTTR indicates more efficient incident response processes and capability to limit the impact of security breaches.
Reducing MTTR is crucial for minimizing business disruption and financial losses during security incidents. The faster you can contain and remediate a security incident, the less damage it will cause.
Calculation Method
Sum of response times for all incidents / Total number of incidents
Response time is measured from the moment an incident is detected to the time initial containment actions are completed.
