Where do SekChek's Industry Averages come from?

---

Perhaps the most important point is that they are not merely based on a static, theoretical average for computer security.

30 million security measurements from 120+ countries...

SekChek's Industry Averages are dynamic, real-life averages that are automatically updated after each file we process using summary data obtained from each Scan file. Our statistics database contains more than 70,000 anonymous records from 120 different countries and in excess of 30 million individual security measurements.

Check out the Summary pages of your next SekChek report. The machine analysed was probably evaluated against all industry types and all countries. It will also have been evaluated against other similar-sized machines (based on the number of user accounts on the machine).

Then check your next SekChek report, or ask us to compare the same machine against a particular industry type. You should see some interesting differences in the graphical summary reports which will help you to understand just how dynamic these industry averages really are!
