When it comes to cybersecurity, the average person is not as savvy as they think. According to research, most people are not very good at gauging their level of cyber risk. Frequently, people either underestimate or overestimate the dangers they face online. This lack of awareness can make it difficult to take steps to improve one’s cybersecurity. However, with a 3GO Personal Cyber Score, individuals can get a clear idea of where they stand and what they can do to better protect themselves online.

3GO Personal Cyber Score is a new tool that will help you understand your risks and take the necessary steps to improve your security. With this valuable information, you can take control of your online safety and protect yourself from potential threats.

3GO will help you understand where your cyber vulnerabilities lie and what you can do to protect yourself in each area of your life. Whether it’s your home, your personal devices, your identity, your financial accounts, or your data, 3GO has got you covered.

Your Cyber Score is like your credit score, but for online security


Here’s how it works:

1. Get your score

How high is your Cyber Score? It’s a number that reflects how well you do at protecting yourself online. The level of protection you afford to your assets largely determines how many points you get. Accounts, devices, and data files are all examples of assets. Just like a credit score, a person’s Cyber Score can rise and fall over time.

2. Determine your range

The strength of your score indicates the level of protection you have – unprotected, poor, fair, good, or strong. The better protected you are, the lower the risk is that you’ll be targeted by an attack.

3. Get your personalized security plan

There are a lot of things you can do to improve your online security, and they’re all worth different amounts of points. The more important an action is to your security, the more points it is worth. The more effort you put into improving your online security, the more points you will earn.

How are Cyber Scores calculated?


Security is important, but it’s different for everyone. What works for one person might not work for another. It all depends on what you have that needs protecting and your vulnerabilities. The threats that apply to you also play a role, as do the protections you have in place. Once you know your vulnerabilities, you can take steps to defend against potential threats.

Your assets

To protect your assets, you need to understand what they are. Your devices, accounts, identity, and data are all valuable assets that need to be safeguarded. Some assets are more valuable to criminals than others, so we use a weighting system to assess which assets are most at risk. This system is constantly updated to reflect changes in the threat landscape, so it’s important to regularly review your protection measures.

Your vulnerabilities

Security risks come in many forms, from intentional attacks by scammers and hackers to accidental data breaches by companies you do business with. No matter the source, these risks can have a serious impact on your life. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the different types of risks out there and take steps to protect yourself from them.

Next steps

 

There are plenty of things you can do to keep your online presence secure. Something as simple as using a stronger password for your bank account can make a big difference. Another good idea is to adjust your privacy settings on social media accounts to add another layer of protection. By being proactive and taking some basic security measures, you can help keep yourself safe from potential threats.
