OPSWAT Security Score
OPSWAT Security Score is a useful tool with a simple interface that scans your system and delivers a system security rating. It also makes recommendations to increase your system security level.
The program offers a clear and well-organized interface where all you have to do is launch it and wait for a very fast scanning process to complete in around 9 seconds (on our test PC). Once the scanning process has completed, you'll have a quick overview of how secure your computer is based on 7 categories: antivirus, antiphishing, firewall, backup, patch management, public file sharing and hard drive encryption.
Its scoring mechanism is based on security industry and market research, over ten years of expertise in the field and feedback from leading security technology vendors about the relative importance of each category and status of the associated software. In addition, OPSWAT Gears (which is a feature of Security Score) detects and reports on the presence and current state of third party security software such as personal firewalls, antimalware and antivirus products, backup applications, patches, sandboxing and virtualization tools and other similar solutions.
OPSWAT Security Score is an excellent tool for anyone looking to improve their security posture, from individual users to IT professionals responsible for securing endpoints in large enterprises. However, the program isn't a replacement for a robust security solution. OPSWAT has a range of tools that are more effective for securing endpoints such as their MetaDefender platform and the Cylance OEM Engine.
