Abstract
A security metrics system receives security information data for a network system of computers and metric definitions from metric sources. Each metric definition defines a heuristic for calculating a score for the network system from one or more security signal values at a time in the plurality of times, wherein the score quantifies a security metric for the network system. The system calculates each metric definition for a plurality of times and selecting metric definitions that are related to the performance of and are indicative of one or more other metric definitions as candidates to be key performance indicators.
