Horizon3.ai proposes four metrics to measure attack resistance
Original title: Metrics That Matter: Are We Becoming Harder to Attack?
The metrics track attack paths, impact reduction speed, verification coverage and recurrence to see if environments become harder to attack.
Horizon3.ai reframes security measurement around whether environments are becoming harder to attack. It introduces four metrics focused on proven attack paths and impacts, speed of impact reduction, verification coverage of remediations, and recurrence of eliminated paths. These outcome-based metrics help teams determine if vulnerable states are actually reduced in impact.
- Track proven attack paths and their impacts on critical systems
- Measure time to move from validation to full mitigation
- Calculate percentage of remediations retested and verified
- Monitor recurrence of previously eliminated attack paths

Closed tickets and remediation SLAs show what teams have done, not whether the environment is harder to attack. This infographic outlines four Exposure Management metrics: attack paths and impacts, speed of impact reduction, verification coverage, and recurrence.
