HSS

Host Security Service (HSS) is designed to improve the overall security for ECSs. It reduces intrusion risks with asset management, vulnerability management, intrusion detection, and baseline inspection functions.

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.
