CER.live: the transformation of cybersecurity score into cybersecurity rating
Since the release of the upgraded CER score at the beginning of 2021, we have actively communicated with crypto exchanges and collected a lot of feedback regarding our security score. The most common request has been related to the Cybersecurity Score (CSS) review. More than 80 exchanges have submitted information regarding their security audits and bug bounty programs.
And the CER team is proud to announce that from now on, our cybersecurity score will resemble classic ratings. Figures are now converted into capital letters.
Please note that the calculation methodology applied by CER.live has remained unchanged. The same relates to CoinGecko.
How does the new cybersecurity rating look like
CER.live has applied the following algorithm for the determination of the cybersecurity rating:
Former cybersecurity score | New cybersecurity rating |
---|---|
>9.5 | AAA |
>9 | AA |
>8.5 | A |
>8 | BBB |
>7.5 | BB |
>7 | B |
>6.5 | CCC |
>6 | CC |
>5 | C |
<5 | D |
