Episode 68 — Recovery Metrics: RTO, RPO, MTTR, and MTBF (3.4)
This episode explains four recovery and reliability metrics that frequently appear in Security+ questions. Recovery time objective defines the maximum acceptable time to restore a service after disruption, while recovery point objective defines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. Mean time to repair measures the average time needed to restore a failed component or service, and mean time between failures measures average reliability between failures. Students should be able to choose the correct metric from a scenario, such as selecting RPO when the issue is lost transactions or RTO when the issue is how quickly a system must be back online. These metrics help translate business expectations into technical recovery requirements.
