Status Go: Ep. 183 – Measuring Performance – Cybersecurity

In IT we measure lots of things, tickets, response time, uptime, the list goes on and on. How do you know you are measuring what matters? In this two-part series we explore how to identify the metrics that matter and how they can help drive performance.

In Part II, we take the lessons we learned in Part I and visit with Adam Scamihorn, a Product Director at InterVision. Adam takes us through benchmarking your cybersecurity program. Why it is important to measure your program, how do you identify the measurements that matter, and what are the corollaries between the technical and mental measurements we discussed in Part I.

Previously, in Part I, we took a foray into the world of professional sports by talking with retired golfer, Allison Duncan. Allison breaks down her game into technical measurements and mental measurements and how she learned to focus on what she can control.
