How security scores are calculated

...

If the antivirus engine is running, and the virus definition updates are up to date, the security score is Good

If the necessary information cannot be collected, the security score is None

Drivers

If the hardware model is supported and the drivers are up to date, the security score is Updated

If the hardware model is supported and the drivers are not up to date, the security score is Outdated

If the hardware model is not supported or necessary information is missing, the security score is None *

💡 Drivers are matched against the repository with driver packs provided by CapaOne Drivers and are only shown on the Security Summary dashboard

Encryption

If the boot drive is not encrypted, the security score is Poor

...

If the boot drive is encrypted, and all data drives are encrypted, the security score is Good

If the necessary information cannot be collected, the security score is None

💡 Drive lock status does not effect the security score.

Firewall

If a network connection is connected, and the software firewall is not active, the security score is Poor

If a network connection is connected, and the software firewall is active, the security score is Good

If the necessary information cannot be collected, the security score is None

Recommendations

In general, higher security scores indicates a more secure system. A security score of Goodindicates that the system is well-protected, while a security score of Poor indicates that the system is more vulnerable to attacks.

Here are some recommendations to improve security scores :

  • Keep the antivirus software up to date

  • Encrypt all hard drives

  • Enable the software firewall

  • Limit the number of local administrators

  • Reboot regularly

  • Install available Windows updates

🎯 By following the recommendations, security scores can be improved and make the system less vulnerable to attacks!
