You can’t improve what you don’t measure. In this episode, we focus on key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics used to evaluate the effectiveness of vulnerability management programs. You’ll learn how metrics like vulnerability age, remediation time, recurrence rates, and vulnerability density across asset classes are used to benchmark performance and demonstrate progress.

We’ll also explore how critical vulnerabilities and zero-days are tracked, how “Top 10” metrics are reported to stakeholders, and how these measurements support everything from board-level reporting to regulatory audits. This episode prepares you for CySA+ questions on risk quantification and reporting value—and gives you tools to measure the impact of your work in a way that resonates across the organization.
