Tactical Goals
Tactical goals are short-term, specific objectives that drive operations and support broader strategy. Within the context of cybersecurity, tactical goals focus on near-term improvements and deliverables, such as:
- “Patch 100% of critical systems within 15 days.”
- “Conduct phishing training quarterly to reach 90% of employees.”
- “Deploy SIEM and reduce log ingestion latency to 5 minutes.”
Per the “Strategy vs Operations vs Tactics Framework,” tactics are the execution layer, actionable tasks with clear metrics that enable operational success and strategic outcomes.
