#CyberFit Score for machines
#CyberFit Score provides you with a security assessment and scoring mechanism that evaluates the security posture of your machine. It identifies security gaps in the IT environment and open attack vectors to endpoints and provides recommended actions for improvements in the form of a report. This feature is available in all three Cyber Protect editions.
The #CyberFit Score functionality is supported on:
- Windows 7 (first version) and later versions
- Windows Server 2008 R2 and later versions
How it works
The protection agent that is installed on a machine performs a security assessment and calculates the #CyberFit Score for the machine. The #CyberFit Score of a machine is automatically periodically recalculated.
#CyberFit scoring mechanism
The #CyberFit Score for a machine is calculated, based on the following metrics:
- Antimalware protection 0-275
- Backup protection 0-175
- Firewall 0-175
- Virtual private network (VPN) 0-75
- Full disk encryption 0-125
- Network security 0-25
The maximum #CyberFit Score for a machine is 850.
Metric | What is assessed? | Recommendations to users | Scoring |
---|---|---|---|
Antimalware | The agent checks whether antimalware software is installed on a machine. |
Findings:
Recommendations provided by #CyberFit Score: You should have an antimalware solution installed and enabled on your machine to stay protected from security risks. You should refer to websites such as AV-Test or AV-Comparatives for a list of recommended antimalware solutions. |
275 - antimalware software is installed on a machine 0 - no antimalware software is installed on a machine |
Backup | The agent checks that a backup solution is installed on a machine. |
Findings:
Recommendations provided by #CyberFit Score: You are recommended to back up your data regularly to prevent data loss or ransomware attacks. Below are some backup solutions that you should consider using:
|
175 - a backup solution is installed on a machine 0 - no backup solution is installed on a machine |
Firewall |
The agent checks whether a firewall is available and enabled in your environment. The agent does the following: 1. Checks Windows Firewall and Network Protection whether a public firewall is turned on. 2. Checks Windows Firewall and Network Protection whether a private firewall is turned on. 3. Checks for a 3-rd party firewall solution/agent if Windows public and private firewalls are disabled. |
Findings:
Recommendations provided by #CyberFit Score: It is recommended to enable firewall for your public and private networks to improve your security protection against malicious attacks on your system. Below are provided detailed guides on setting-up your Windows firewall, depending on your security needs and network architecture: Guides for end-users/employees: How to set up Windows Defender Firewall on your PC How to set up Windows Firewall on your PC Guides for system administrators and engineers: How to deploy Window Defender Firewall with Advanced Security |
100 - Windows public firewall is enabled 75 - Windows private firewall is enabled 175 - Windows public and private firewall are enabled 0 - neither a Windows firewall, nor a third-party firewall solution are enabled |
Virtual Private Network (VPN) | The agent checks whether a VPN solution is installed on a machine and whether the VPN is enabled and running. |
Findings:
Recommendations provided by #CyberFit Score: It is recommended to use VPN to access your corporate network and confidential data. It is critical to use a VPN to keep your communications safe and private, especially if you use complimentary Internet access from a cafe, library, airport, or elsewhere. Below are some VPN solutions that you should consider using:
|
75 - VPN is enabled and running 0 - VPN is not enabled |
Disk encryption |
The agent checks whether a machine has disk encryption enabled. The agent checks whether Windows BitLocker is turned on. |
Findings:
Recommendations provided by #CyberFit Score: It is recommended to turn on Windows BitLocker to improve protection of your data and files. |
125 - all disks are encrypted 75 - at least one of your disks is encrypted but there are also unencrypted disks 0 - no disks are encrypted |
Network security (outgoing NTLM traffic to remote servers) | The agent checks whether a machine has restricted outgoing NTLM traffic to remote servers. |
Findings:
Recommendations provided by #CyberFit Score: It is recommended to deny all outgoing NTLM traffic to remote servers for better security protection. You can find information on how to change the NTLM settings and add exceptions by following the link below. |
25 - outgoing NTLM traffic is set to DenyAll 0 - outgoing NTLM traffic is set to another value |
Based on the summed points awarded to each metric, the total #CyberFit Score of a machine can fit one of the following ratings that reflect the endpoint's level of protection:
- 0 - 579 - Poor
- 580 - 669 - Fair
- 670 - 739 - Good
- 740 - 799 - Very good
- 800 - 850 - Excellent
You can see the #CyberFit Score for your machines in the service console: go to Devices > All devices. In the list of devices, you can see the #CyberFit Score column. You can also run the #CyberFit Score scan for a machine to check its security posture.
You can also get information about the #CyberFit Score in the corresponding widget and report pages.
