You can track your system security and identify potential vulnerabilities in near real time with the Security score dashboard widget.
The security score widget evaluates the local system and measures compliance to the best practices outlined in the Security Center Hardening Guide, such as password strength, use of certificates and encryption, and more. Security scores are automatically recalculated as you configure your system.
Your security score is based on a checklist of hardening tasks that apply to the local system. Each completed entry adds one point. The score only includes entries that can be assessed automatically. Hardening tasks that cannot be evaluated or that are flagged Recommendation only are not included in the security score.
Where possible, the security checklist identifies specific roles or entities that do not follow our best practices. To help you complete hardening tasks that are performed in Config Tool, you can click the direct link to open the associated configuration.
