Mean Time to Detect / Respond (MTTD/MTTR)

Metrics that measure, respectively, how long it takes a security team to discover a threat after it occurs and how long it takes to fully contain and remediate it once detected. Lower values in both generally indicate a more mature security operation, though they must be read alongside detection quality to avoid rewarding fast but incomplete responses.
