Containment Metrics Framework: How to Measure Business Exposure and Cyber Resilience
The cybersecurity industry has spent decades measuring metrics that describe how the SOC team and SOC stack perform during an incident but fail to address whether the business survives the incident. Containment metrics measure something different and more durable: the structural properties of the environment that determine how much damage an attacker can do once they get in.
This Containment Metrics Framework helps CISOs and their cybersecurity teams translate a validated critical asset inventory into a quantified, comparable assessment of structural exposure. Download to learn:
- The operational detail for mapping attack paths and containment gaps, and prioritizing investment where it reduces exposure most – step 2 described in the CISO Guide to Resilience-Focused Business Impact Analysis
- How three dimensions of structural containment – Path Distance, Privilege Requirements, and Data-Layer Controls – can be analyzed to produce a quantifiable Containment Score
- A step-by-step approach to uncovering attack paths to critical assets using common compromise scenarios plus a worksheet for turning exposure insights into a single board-ready enterprise Containment Score that quantifies the cyber resilience value of security investments
"When I first saw Zero Networks, I walked away saying, this is too good to be true. When we put it in production, it was like a dream came true."
"My first impression was, it is too good to be true. The ease of deployment was shocking to me. It’s a simple and elegant solution to a very difficult problem."
"Zero Networks has become a core component of our security stack. It is something that we cannot live without any longer."
"Zero Networks is a game changer. The military-grade security it delivers across segmentation, access, and user rights, makes it a new cornerstone technology."
"I had to see it to believe it. The product was up and running in 15 minutes, it’s set it and forget it, and gives me peace of mind."
"When we ran pen tests before Zero Networks, attackers would get in within 5 minutes. Now, they cannot move laterally. It's a superb tool."
"We were having problems stopping some of the traffic in a pen test. Once we had Zero Networks in play, we were able to stop these activities."
"After [implementing] Zero Networks, we were able to lock down endpoints both on the server and on the laptops, our attack surface has decreased... incredibly."
"To do this by GPOs would have taken 300% more effort… we needed one FTE just to do this before Zero. Now, we can easily share the work."
"I would highlight the simplicity of [Zero Networks], both in the implementation and in the policy solutions that it generates for you. It's like they say in my department – it's black magic."
