Success was benchmarked using a vulnerability-to-host ratio.
The performance of sites and teams was mapped directly to this ratio.
Organizationwide ratios were measured from quarter to quarter.
Dramatic improvements were seen after just a few quarters, and NASA concluded that the effort cost about $30 per system annually. As this illustrates, organizations with a good handle on the management of their vulnerabilities can more cost-effectively deal with current threats.
