Your MTTD Looks Great. Your Post-Alert Gap Doesn't

The cybersecurity landscape is facing a significant shift as AI-driven offensive capabilities accelerate, with adversary breakout times collapsing to minutes or even seconds. While detection technologies have improved significantly, the primary vulnerability now lies in the "Post-Alert Gap" - the time taken for human analysts to manually investigate, gather context, and respond to alerts. Traditional metrics like Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) no longer provide a complete picture of risk when attackers operate faster than human analysts can clear their investigation queues.
