Scoring Engine

Evidence-Based Scoring

Every metric tracked. Every action measured. Forensic-grade timelines capture exactly what your analysts did, when they did it, and how effective they were.

Core Metrics

The Four Metrics That Matter

Incident response performance distilled into four measurable, comparable, and improvable metrics.

T0
MTTD
Mean Time to Detect

Measures the elapsed time from attack start to first detection. Tracks the exact SIEM query, alert, or observation that identified the threat.

How fast did they notice?

T1
MTTI
Mean Time to Investigate

Measures investigation thoroughness and speed. Tracks which data sources were queried, IOCs identified, and attack scope determined.

How deep did they go?

T2
MTTC
Mean Time to Contain

Measures time from investigation to containment action. Tracks account disabling, host isolation, firewall rules, and credential rotation.

How fast did they act?

T3
MTTR
Mean Time to Recover

Measures full incident lifecycle from containment to resolution. Tracks documentation quality, remediation steps, and lessons learned.

How fast did they fix?

Timeline

Incident Timeline

Every lab session produces a forensic timeline tracking each phase of the incident response lifecycle.

Incident Phases

T0
Attack Begins

AI-driven attack simulation launches. The adversary establishes initial access and begins executing the attack chain. The clock starts.

T1
Detection

Analyst or AI agent identifies the first indicator of compromise. The scoring engine captures the exact query, alert, or observation that triggered awareness.

T2
Investigation Complete

Full scope of the incident is determined. Affected users, compromised hosts, attack vector, and lateral movement paths are mapped.

T3
Containment Achieved

Threat is isolated. Compromised accounts disabled, affected hosts quarantined, malicious processes terminated, and network rules applied.

T4
Resolution & Report

Incident documentation submitted. Root cause, timeline, affected assets, remediation steps, and recommendations captured for the final score.

T0-T4 markers track your incident response: T0 = attack start, T1 = detection, T2 = investigation complete, T3 = containment, T4 = report submitted.

Reporting

Analytics & Reporting

Transform raw performance data into actionable insights for analysts, managers, and compliance teams.

Individual Performance Tracking

Track each analyst's MTTD, MTTI, MTTC, and MTTR across every lab attempt. Identify strengths, weaknesses, and improvement trends over time.

Cohort Comparison

Compare teams, departments, or cohorts against each other and industry benchmarks. Identify top performers and those needing targeted training.

Skill Progression

Visualize improvement trajectories across lab types and difficulty levels. Map progression from junior analyst to incident responder to threat hunter.

NIST & NICE Alignment

Scoring maps to NIST Cybersecurity Framework and NICE Workforce Framework. Generate compliance-ready reports for auditors and leadership.

SOC Report Cards

Every completed lab session generates a SOC Performance Report Card — a shareable, screenshot-ready summary of detection accuracy, skill breakdown, IR timeline, and peer percentile rankings. Built for analysts to track growth and for leaders to assess readiness at a glance.

SOC Report Card

Every Lab Generates a Performance Report

Each completed session produces a shareable SOC Performance Report Card — screenshot-ready for analysts tracking growth and leaders assessing team readiness.

  • Overall score with correctness, speed, and process breakdown
  • Incident response metrics: MTTD, MTTI, MTTC, MTTR
  • Per-skill checkpoint breakdown with mastery tracking
  • MITRE ATT&CK techniques practiced
