Following the launch of the enhanced CER score in early 2021, we have engaged extensively with crypto exchanges to gather feedback on our security scoring system. The predominant request has been for a review of the Cybersecurity Score (CSS). Over 80 exchanges have provided details about their security audits and bug bounty programs.
We are pleased to announce that our cybersecurity score will now be presented in a more traditional rating format. Scores are now expressed using capital letters.
It is important to note that the calculation methodology used by CER.live remains unchanged, and this applies to CoinGecko as well.
