March 2023 SV-ISSA Chapter Meeting - SecOps Maturity: Business Intel for the Boardroom

Date: 
Tuesday, March 21, 2023 - 5:00pm
Topic: 

You can’t improve what you don’t measure.   To mature your security operations program, you need to evaluate its effectiveness.  But this is a task many organizations still struggle with when it comes to collection, detection, and response. If showing the effectiveness of your security operations is a challenge, it might be time to re-evaluate your KPIs and your ability to measure them in order to communicate to your board the metrics that drive programmatic gains in your secops practices.
