KPIs: From Security Theatre to Effective Governance

Data points that can be reported on are easy to find. How many people clicked on the phishing test? How many emails were blocked by the spam filter?

This presentation will highlight some examples of poor metrics and, hopefully, some more useful ones – providing some food for thought!
