Risk assessment

The risk assessment feature enables you to monitor the overall status of the security risk for the computers you manage.

Advanced EDR Individually monitors and assesses each configuration and each security module installed on the computers on the network. Each assessed feature is compared to an ideal configuration or status defined by Cytomic. When the ideal configuration and the configuration found on a user computer differ, a risk level is assigned to that specific feature.

When you configure the risk assessment feature, you can choose which security aspects you want to monitor on computers. If the assessed feature and the ideal configuration differ, Cytomic sets a specific risk level (Medium, High, or Critical). You can change this level afterward according to your needs.

Not all features you can assess are applicable to all operating systems installed across the network. Cytomic will add new checks with each new version of the product to gradually improve risk assessment.
