Summary

Removed entire content including definition, usage guidance, and impact analysis of mean time to contain metric

Security assessment

Deletion of incident response documentation doesn't indicate a security fix. The removed content was educational material about security processes, not evidence of patching a vulnerability or weakness.

-# Mean time to contain
-
-_Mean time to contain_ is the average time it takes to contain a possible security incident. Specifically, this is the time between the initial alert or discovery of a possible security incident and the completion of responsive actions that effectively prevents the attacker or compromised systems from doing further harm. 
-
-You can use this metric to track how well your team is able to mitigate or contain possible security incidents. Inability to quickly and effectively contain possible security incidents increases the impact, scope, and exposure to possible further compromise. 
-
-The higher the mean time to contain, the greater the need to build both knowledge and capabilities to quickly and effectively mitigate and contain the security incidents you are experiencing. The lower the mean time to contain, the better your team is at understanding and employing the necessary measures to mitigate and contain identified threats to reduce impact, scope, and risk to the business.
