MTTD

MTTD provides a graphical representation of the average amount of time it took to detect a security issue or event, which is measured by calculating the average amount of time between the Time of Occurrence and Time of Detection for Cases, over a specified period of time broken down by days, weeks, or months.

1. Select MTTD on the Details step of the Add New Card drawer to display the Query step (Figure 1).
