Measuring Security

Abstract

Abstract Ask a CEO a very broad question such as, “How is your company doing?” and he or she is likely lo rattle off concise metrics describing revenue, earnings per share, gross margin, and market share. These few metrics, measured over time, provide a surprisingly clear picture of the health and well-being of a company and whether its prospects are improving or deteriorating. However, ask that same CEO a far narrower question: “How secure is your network?” and you're likely to be met with a blank stare.
