MTTD

Mean Time to Detect

Definition

MTTD measures the average time between when a security incident begins and when the security team becomes aware of it. It is a key SOC performance metric; industry studies show breaches go undetected for an average of weeks to months.

Reducing MTTD requires better instrumentation, detection rules, and threat hunting capabilities. MTTD is tracked alongside MTTR to measure overall incident response effectiveness.
