A. Whether controls are operating effectively Technical metrics are most commonly used to assess the performance and effectiveness of security controls and measures. These metrics provide quantitative data about the functioning of specific security mechanisms, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, antivirus software, and encryption tools. By analyzing technical metrics, organizations can evaluate the operational effectiveness of these controls, identify any issues or vulnerabilities, and make necessary adjustments to improve security.
