Unstable Cyber Hygiene Score: We can discuss this topic along with other users

Let’s take a look at 5 main factors that affects a cyber hygiene score in your network:

• System/ Software /OS Vulnerabilities: These are weaknesses within the network that, if exploited, can lead to unauthorized access or damage.
• Misconfigurations: Incorrect settings, like open ports or excessive user permissions, often leave systems exposed.
• Posture Anomaly: A deviation from the expected security posture (e.g., unusual network traffic or unauthorized access attempts) can indicate a compromised system or a misconfiguration.
• Missing Patches: Unpatched systems and applications create vulnerabilities that are prime targets for attackers.
• Prioritized Risks: Identifying and ranking risks based on potential impact and likelihood allows for efficient resource allocation.

These five factors are primary causes of an unstable network, as they expose systems to security gaps, disruptions, and potential breaches. Together, they create weaknesses that can lead to frequent outages, data exposure, and inconsistent performance across the network.

SanerNow’s approach to evaluating a cyber hygiene score stands out due to its comprehensive model that evenly weights five key factors: prioritized risks, missing patches, posture anomalies, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations. Unlike other vendors that typically only consider vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security controls, SanerNow’s model provides a more holistic view of your network.

Here’s a detailed view of it:
