Measure, improve, and communicate the value of your security program.

Every business decision should be driven by data—and cyber security is no exception. In Data-Driven Cybersecurity, you'll master the art and science of quantifiable cybersecurity, learning to harness data for enhanced threat detection, response, and mitigation. You’ll turn raw data into meaningful intelligence, better evaluate the performance of your security teams, and proactively address the vulnerabilities revealed by the numbers.

Data-Driven Cybersecurity will teach you how to:

Align a metrics program with organizational goals
Design real-time threat detection dashboards
Predictive cybersecurity using AI and machine learning
Data-driven incident response
Apply the ATLAS methodology to reduce alert fatigue
Create compelling metric visualizations

Data-Driven Cybersecurity teaches you to implement effective, data-driven cybersecurity practices—including utilizing AI and machine learning for detection and prediction. Throughout, the book presents security as a core part of organizational strategy, helping you align cyber security with broader business objectives. If you’re a CISO or security manager, you’ll find the methods for communicating metrics to non-technical stakeholders invaluable.
about the book
Data-Driven Cybersecurity shows you the metrics, data, and KPIs that will help you assess and enhance the performance of your cyber security programs. You’ll learn how to turn complex metrics into actionable security practices, following the unique ATLAS (Alert Threshold Lifecycle Assessment System) methodology created by author Mariano Mattei. You’ll go hands-on to build a real-time threat detection dashboard, and discover how AI and machine learning can proactively predict cybersecurity incidents. Case studies, interactive exercises, templates for KPIs, and expert insights help illustrate each new concept.
