HSS

What Is HSS?

Host Security Service (HSS) is designed to improve the overall security for ECSs. It helps you identify and manage the information on your ECSs, eliminate risks, and defend against intrusions and web page tampering.

After installing the HSS agent on your ECSs, you will be able to check the ECS security status and risks in a region on the HSS console.

How Do I Use HSS?

Before using the HSS service, install the agent on your ECS. For details, see sections "Installing an Agent" and "Enabling HSS" in the Host Security Service User Guide.

How Do I Check Host Security Statuses?

On the Server tab, you can view the ECS security statuses in the current region.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click and choose Security & Compliance > Host Security Service.
3. On the Server tab, check the ECS security statuses.

   Table 1 Statuses

   Parameter	Description
   Agent Status	Not installed: The agent has not been started or even has not been installed. Online: The agent is running properly. Offline: The agent fails to communicate with the HSS server. Therefore, HSS cannot protect your ECS. Click Offline. Then, the ECSs with agent being offline and the offline reasons are displayed.
   Protection Status	Enabled: The ECS is properly protected using HSS. Disabled: HSS has been disabled on the ECS. If an ECS does not need protection, disable HSS on it to reduce its resource consumption.
   Detection Result	Risky: The ECS is risky. Safe: No risks are detected. Pending risk detection: HSS is not enabled for the ECS.
