Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR): In cybersecurity, MTTR measures how quickly vulnerabilities are resolved once discovered, reducing exposure and strengthening resilience.
A lower MTTR translates directly into reduced risk. It limits the window of opportunity for attackers, helps organizations stay aligned with regulatory requirements, builds confidence with customers and stakeholders, and frees security teams from prolonged incident response cycles.
In the context of AI security, MTTR carries even greater weight. Generative AI systems introduce vulnerabilities at unprecedented speed, and adversaries are quick to exploit them. Reducing MTTR ensures that once a weakness is uncovered—whether through red-teaming or inference defenses—it can be addressed before it becomes a breach. In short, lowering MTTR is what enables enterprises to keep pace with AI while maintaining security, compliance, and trust.
