Security devices on a network are difficult to quantify when it comes to successes. Think of them as more of an insurance policy, How you would measure the success of your car insurance or home insurance? You can take logs or alerts from the various devices and use these to build metrics but these types of measurements are very subjective. -----Original Message----- From: brent.thompson () csd disa mil [mailto:brent.thompson () csd disa mil] Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 4:18 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Couple of security questions Can anyone tell me is their metric on how many intrusion detection analyst per number of servers? If so, where can I find it? Also.Does anyone know where I can obtain security metrics for success (i.e. how do you measure what you are doing and if it is being reached). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
