H.265/HEVC can reduce bitrate by about 50% versus H.264 for equivalent visual quality in standard codec references (percentage reduction)
05
Secure video streaming uses TLS; guidance requires cryptographic algorithms like AES-128 or higher, providing measurable encryption strength expectations (bit length)
06
MTTD (mean time to detect) and MTTR (mean time to respond) are tracked by security operations; NIST SP 800-137 defines these as key incident response performance measures (metric definitions)
07
TLS is the standard transport encryption used for secure video streaming (encryption protocol usage percentage cannot be stated without a numeric survey, so this metric is omitted).
