Adversary simulation metrics

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Metric

Formula

Target

Mean Time to Detect (MTTD)

Σ(Time from attack start to alert) / Total tests

<30 minutes

Mean Time to Respond (MTTR)

Σ(Time from alert to containment) / Total tests

<60 minutes

Alert Fidelity

(True Positives / (True Positives + False Positives)) * 100

≥90%

Detection Efficacy

(Detected Attacks / Total Attacks) * 100

≥95% for critical TTPs

Tools

  • CALDERA plugins for automated metric collection.

  • Elastic Security or Splunk ES for response time tracking.
