Measuring Agentic AI Posture: A New Metric For CISOs
Security Boulevard, Thursday, January 29th, 2026
In cybersecurity, we live by our metrics. We measure Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), Dwell Time, and Patch Cadence. These numbers indicate to the Board how quickly we respond when issues arise.
But in the era of Agentic AI, reaction speed is no longer enough. When an AI Agent or an MCP server is compromised, data exfiltration happens in milliseconds rather than days. If you are waiting for an incident to measure your success, you have already lost.
CISOs need a new way to measure readiness, not just reaction. We call this strategic approach Agentic AI Posture.
