5 Places where Mature SOCs Keep MTTR Fast and Others Waste Time
Security teams often present MTTR as an internal KPI. Leadership sees it differently: every hour a threat dwells inside the environment is an hour of potential data exfiltration, service disruption, regulatory exposure, and brand damage. The root cause of slow MTTR is almost never “not enough analysts.” It is almost always the same structural problem:…
