How GitLab measures Red Team impact: The adoption rate metric

In early 2024, a focus on implementing better metrics for GitLab's Red Team led to the development of the adoption rate metric, designed to measure how often security recommendations are accepted and executed, thereby linking the team's efforts to tangible security outcomes. Using GitLab, the team tracks this metric through a detailed process involving tagged recommendations and a dynamic Security Recommendations Dashboard powered by the GitLab Query Language. This approach helps the team maintain oversight of recommendations and visualize adoption trends over time. Lessons learned from this initiative highlight the importance of integrating metrics from the start, collaborating with other security teams to enhance effectiveness, and continuously refining processes to improve security outcomes. Additionally, GitLab plans to implement metrics on threat resilience to assess and enhance their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to relevant threats, with the aim of driving strategic decisions across their security division.
