The Norton CyberCrime Index made its debut on Wednesday alongside the latest version of Symantec's all-in-one consumer security suite, Norton 360. The index lies somewhere between a weather report and a threat-level advisory system.
The CyberCrime Index uses a statistical model based on information from Symantec's Global Intelligence Network, ID Analytics and DataLossDB. At the top level, the CyberCrime Index takes this data and creates a number evaluating the relative risk of the threats of the day. However, it also provides a more in-depth look at active threats and threat trends, and offers advice on what kind of behaviours are being most heavily targeted that day.
