Says Caroline Wong, chief strategy officer at Cobalt.io: "Before you present a security metric with a complex calculation behind it — whether it's something formal like FAIR or a customer security score that you use internally — consider how familiar your audience may already be or not be with the calculation behind the score. If your audience is not familiar with how you get to the number(s) you're presenting, you may find yourself defending the methodology and calculation more than you actually get to discuss the security metric itself, its meaning, and the action that you recommend as a result."
