What are the Enterprise Cybersecurity key KPIs?

Enterprise-wide security refers to a comprehensive and integrated approach to safeguarding an entire organization, including its people, processes, technologies, and information assets, against a wide range of security threats and risks. It involves the implementation of policies, practices, and technologies that address security at every level of the organization, from individual end-users to network infrastructure to corporate governance. The goal of enterprise-wide security is to create a cohesive and resilient security posture that protects the organization as a whole.
