Enabling the Enterprise/Premium Edition

Check Mode

HSS performs a full scan in the early morning every day.

After you enable server protection, you can view scan results after the automatic scan in the next early morning, or perform a manual scan.

Prerequisites

• The agent status of the server to be protected is Online. To check the status, choose Asset Management > Servers & Quota on the HSS.
• To better protect your containers, you are advised to set security configurations.

Restrictions

• Linux OS

  On servers running the EulerOS with ARM, HSS does not block the IP addresses suspected of SSH brute-force attacks, but only generates alarms.

• Windows OS
  • Authorize the Windows firewall when you enable protection for a Windows server. Do not disable the Windows firewall during the HSS in-service period. If the Windows firewall is disabled, HSS cannot block brute-force attack IP addresses.
  • If the Windows firewall is manually enabled, HSS may also fail to block brute-force attack IP addresses.

Enabling Protection

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the upper left corner of the page, click , select a region, and choose Security > Host Security Service.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Asset Management > Servers & Quota. Click the Servers tab.
4. Select the target server and click Enable.

   In the Enable Protection dialog box, select an HSS edition.

5. Click OK. View the server protection status in the server list.

   If the Protection Status of the target server is Enabled, the enterprise or premium edition has been enabled.

   

   • A quota can be bound to a server to protect it, on condition that the agent on the server is online.

   After HSS is enabled, it will scan your servers for security issues. Check items vary according to the edition you enabled.

Follow-Up Procedure

Disabling HSS

On the Servers tab of the Servers & Quotas page, click Disable in the Operation column of a server.

• Before disabling protection, perform a comprehensive detection on the server, handle known risks, and record operation information to prevent O&M errors and attacks on the server.
• After protection is disabled, clear important data on the server, stop important applications on the server, and disconnect the server from the external network to avoid unnecessary loss caused by attacks.
