Gtron Solutions uses a unique grading system to determine the security threat level that we call, "Watching the Watchers" (WTW). We monitor the top security watchers on the Internet and determine an overall grade. We decided to develop this system because one site might have a 'Normal' rating but another might have 'Elevated'. This grading system is simple - we monitor the threat level of several credible sites and then compile the average. Click Here to see an example of the "Watching the Watchers" grading system.

Everything is normal. No significant new threat known. 

Elevated:
Tracking a new threat. Impact is either unknown or expected to be minor to the infrastructure. However, local impact could be significant. Users are advised to take immediate specific action to contain the impact. Example: 'MSBlaster' worm outbreak.

 High:
A major disruption in connectivity is imminent or in progress. Examples: Code Red on its return, and SQL Slammer worm during its first half day.

Severe:
Loss of connectivity across a large part of the internet.
