Creating a Workspace

Scenario

Workspaces are top-level workbenches in SecMaster. A workspace can be associated with general projects, regions, and enterprise projects to support security operations in different scenarios.

Before using baseline inspection, alert management, security analysis, and security orchestration in SecMaster, you need to create at least one workspace first. You can use workspaces to group your resources by application scenario. This will make security operations more efficient.

This section describes how to create a workspace.

Limitations and Constraints

• Paid SecMaster: A maximum of five workspaces can be created for an account in a region.
• Free SecMaster: Only one workspace can be created for an account in a region.

Operations You Can Do with a Workspace

You can perform security operations after adding a workspace. Functions you can use vary depending on the SecMaster edition in use. For details, see Functions.

• Checking the Situation Overview, Checking Security Situation through Large Screens, Security Reports, and Task Center: Check the security situation in a workspace, create security reports, handle to-do tasks, and check security situation on large screens.
• Resource Manager: Manage assets centrally.
• Risk Prevention: Prevent risks through baseline inspections, vulnerability management, emergency vulnerability notifications, and security policy management.
• Threats: Manage threats, including incidents, alerts, and indicators, use intelligent modeling, and perform security analysis.
• Security Orchestration: Implement security orchestration. Security orchestration combines security functions of different systems or components in a system involved in security operations in your organizations based on certain logical relationships to complete a specific security operations process and procedure. It aims to help security teams of enterprises and organizations quickly and efficiently respond to network threats and implement efficient and automatic response and handling of security incidents. You can manage operations objects, playbooks, page layouts, and plug-ins.
• Settings: Configure log collection and access to aggregate logs into SecMaster.
