Security metrics are important for measuring the effectiveness of the security controls that have been implemented. These metrics should be monitored regularly to ensure that the security controls function properly and the assets are adequately protected. For example, metrics such as the number of successful and unsuccessful login attempts, the number of suspicious activities detected, and the number of successful and unsuccessful security incidents should all be monitored. Metrics such as the number of successful and unsuccessful patch installations, unauthorized user access attempts, and successful and unsuccessful security awareness campaigns should all be monitored. By monitoring these security metrics, it is possible to determine the effectiveness of the security controls that have been implemented and to identify areas for improvement. Metrics such as the number of changes made to security settings and the number of security alerts should also be monitored to ensure that the security controls remain effective. Metrics such as successful and unsuccessful security audits should be monitored to ensure security controls are evaluated regularly.
