Figure 1 Security Overview
(Optional) Obtain purchase authorization.

Access authorization is required the first time you buy the service. SecMaster needs your authorization to obtain the ECS asset details. On the Access Authorization slide-out panel displayed, select Agree and click OK.

On the purchase page, configure parameters by referring to the following table.

**Table 1** Parameters for buying SecMaster
Parameter	Description
Billing Mode	Select Yearly/Monthly or Pay-per-use billing mode based on your needs. Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing mode. You pay in advance for a subscription term. The longer the subscription term, the bigger the discount. Pay-per-use billing is a postpaid mode in which you pay for what you use. You are billed by the second based on the actual usage. Your bill is settled by the hour. With the pay-per-use billing mode, you can easily adapt to resource requirement changes, reducing the risk of over-provisioning of resources or lacking capacity. In this mode, there are no upfront commitments required.
Region	Select the region where your cloud resources are located.
Edition	SecMaster provides basic, standard, and professional editions for your choice. For details about their differences, see Edition Differences.
Quota	The maximum number of ECSs you want to protect. The quota must be greater than or equal to the total number of ECSs within your account. This value cannot be changed to a smaller one after the purchase. NOTE: The maximum quota is 10,000. If some of your servers 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 quota whenever your server quantity increases.
Large Screen	You can enable Large Screen, Log Audit, and Security Orchestration. If you want to purchase value-added package in yearly/monthly billing mode, select a required duration. For details about the value-added package and recommended configurations, see Value-added Package Specifications.

Tag	TMS's predefined tag function is recommended for adding the same tag to different cloud resources. You can also create tags when purchasing SecMaster.
Required Duration	Select the required duration as required. You do not need to configure this parameter in pay-per-use mode. The Auto-renew option enables the system to renew your service by the purchased period when the service is about to expire.

The quotas of security data retention, security modeling analysis, and security data collection packages can be counted together. However, these packages cannot cover what you used before the purchase. Subscriptions to these packages cannot be cancelled.
For yearly/monthly security data collection, security modeling analysis, and retention packages, data volume in excess of the package quotas will be billed on a pay-per-use basis.
Pay-per-use resources will not be disabled automatically even if yearly/monthly security data retention, security modeling analysis, and security data collection packages expire. They will always be enabled on a pay-per-use basis.
For yearly/monthly security data collection package, data volume in excess of the package quota will be billed each day on a pay-per-use basis.

For example, a user purchases a security data collection package with 5 GB/day/quota for one month. If the user uses 5 GB data collection before 22:00 on the purchase day, and then uses 2 GB data collection between 22:00 00 and 24:00, the extra 2 GB will be billed on a pay-per-use basis. Starting from 00:00 on the next day, a 5 GB/day/quota is available to the user again.

Security Orchestration

Function description:
Once SecMaster detects a threat, security orchestration starts automated response orchestration and works with related cloud services to block and isolate threat sources. Security orchestration provides quick and effective security incident responses.

Purchase configuration description:

Table 3 lists the free quota of security orchestration. You can increase the quota at an extra cost if needed.

In pay-per-use billing mode, you will be billed based on the actual security orchestration operation times. You do not need to configure specifications.

In yearly/monthly billing mode, you need to set the operation times as required. For details, see Table 4.

**Table 3** Specifications for free security orchestration quota
Function	Standard Edition	Professional Edition
Security Orchestration	x	Operations: 7,000

**Table 4** Recommended security orchestration configurations
Value-added Package Function	Recommended Quantity for Yearly/Monthly Subscription
