In reply to Pete.

Thanks Pete for your reply. Security is a full season marathon – not just winning one game. Vulnerability and On-time closure security metrics, or Batting Average as you characterize them, are part of your overall security toolbox. We measure and report them every quarter for the life of the service. As we know threats change constantly and any product/software is going to have vulnerabilities. Equipped with these tools like USM (and others), issues can be quickly diagnosed, remediated or fixed.

Basics matter in security and a good hygiene pays off. Ultimately each vulnerability handled in a timely manner is a run scored!

Cheers,
