      Parameter

      Description

      ECS Quota

      The maximum number of ECSs that require protection from SecMaster.

      The total ECS quota must be greater than or equal to the total number of hosts within your account. This value cannot be changed to a smaller one after your purchase is complete.

      NOTE:
      • The maximum ECS quota cannot exceed 10,000.
      • If some of your ECSs are not protected by SecMaster, threats to them cannot be detected in a timely manner, which may result in security risks, such as data leakage. To prevent this, increase the ECS quota upon an increase of the host asset quantity.
