Security Metrics: Measuring What Actually Matters

Meet America’s Newest $1B Unicorn

A US startup just hit a $1 billion private valuation, joining billion-dollar private companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and ByteDance. Unlike those other unicorns, you can invest.

Why all the interest? EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That's a big deal, as demand for lithium is expected to 5X current production levels by 2040. Today, they’re moving toward commercial production, tapping into 100,000+ acres of lithium deposits in Chile, a potential $1.1B annual revenue opportunity at projected market prices.

Right now, you can invest at this pivotal growth stage for $11/share. But only through February 26. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the deadline.

This is a paid advertisement for EnergyX Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.energyx.com. Under Regulation A, a company may change its share price by up to 20% without requalifying the offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

More Alerts Doesn’t Mean More Protection

High alert volumes are often signs of poor tuning — not better security. Vanity metrics like “events processed” mask the real question: what actually got caught?

MTTR and Dwell Time Are Key Indicators

How fast you detect and contain threats matters more than how many logs you collect. Track Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) and attacker dwell time relentlessly.

Vulnerability Counts Don’t Reflect Risk

Thousands of low-severity bugs mean less than one unpatched critical exploit. Prioritize based on exploitability and impact, not sheer volume.

MFA Coverage, Not Just Enablement

It’s not enough to say MFA is “enabled.” Measure how many users actually use it — and which high-privilege accounts are exempt (or bypassed).

Access Reviews and Permission Drift Must Be Tracked

Over time, users accumulate permissions they no longer need. Measure how often access reviews are done — and how much is revoked after each one.

Use Metrics to Drive Action, Not Just Reports

Good metrics trigger budget decisions, training changes, and tool improvements. Bad metrics decorate dashboards. Measure what moves behavior.
