Functions

Based on cloud native security, SecMaster provides a comprehensive closed-loop security response process that contains log collection, security governance, intelligent analysis, situation awareness, orchestration, and response, helping you protect cloud security.

SecMaster provides basic, standard, and professional editions as well as value-added functions to help meet security requirements in different scenarios.

  • Basic edition: helps learn about security posture.
  • Standard edition: helps meet operations requirements on security situation and DJCP compliance.
  • Professional edition: helps meet requirements on daily operations and regulation compliance.

This topic introduces SecMaster editions and their function differences.

  • The value-added package provides extra functions like large screen, security analysis, and security orchestration beyond the standard and professional editions. To use such extra functions, the standard or professional edition must be enabled first.
  • The following symbols are used in this topic:
    • √: indicates that the function is supported in the corresponding edition.
    • ×: indicates that the function is not supported in the corresponding edition.

Security Overview

The Security Overview page gives you a comprehensive view of your asset security posture together with other linked cloud security services to centrally display security assessment findings.

Security Overview

  • Security Score: A security score shows the overall health status of your workloads on the cloud so you can quickly learn of unhandled risks and their threats to your assets.

    The lower the security score, the greater the overall asset security risk.

  • Security Monitoring: You can view how many threats, vulnerabilities, and compliance violations that are not handled and view their details.
  • Security Scores over the Time: You can view the trend of the asset health scores for the last seven days.

Workspace Management

Workspaces are top-level workbenches in SecMaster. A single workspace can be bound to general projects, enterprise projects, and regions for different application scenarios.
