What is MTTD and MTTR?

Meantime to detect (MTTD) and meantime to respond (MTTR) are two of the most important metrics for measuring a cybersecurity program. MTTD tracks how fast teams identify a threat. MTTR tracks how fast they contain and remediate it. The lower both numbers are, the less time attackers have to cause damage.
