How to Reduce MTTR in Your SOC with Better Threat Intelligence

But if your team takes too long to respond, the attacker still wins the clock. Reducing Mean Time to Respond is not about shaving seconds for vanity metrics. It is about compressing the window in which damage happens. And the fastest way to do that is not more alerts, but better intelligence.  Key Takeaways  MTTR is…
