Security Score

The security score shows the overall health status of your workloads on the cloud based on the service edition you are using. You can quickly learn about unhandled risks and their threats to your assets.

• The security score is automatically updated at 02:00 every day. You can also click Check Again to update it immediately.
• The score ranges from 0 to 100. A larger score indicates a lower risk and a more secure asset. For details about the security scores, see Security Score.
• Different color blocks in the security score ring chart indicate different severity levels. For example, yellow indicates that your security is medium.
• Click Handle Now. The Risks pane is displayed on the right. You can handle risks by referring to the corresponding guidance.
  • The Risks slide-out panel lists all threats that you should handle in a timely manner. These threats are included in the Threat Alarms, Vulnerabilities, and Abnormal Baseline Settings areas.
  • The Risks pane displays the latest check results of the last scan. The Alerts, Vulnerabilities, and Abnormal Baseline Settings pages show check results of all previous scans. So, you will find the threat number on the Risks pane is less than that on those pages. You can click Handle for an alert on the Risks pane to go to the corresponding page quickly.
  • Handling detected security risks:
    1. In the Security Score area, click Handle Now.
    2. On the Risks slide-out panel displayed, click Handle.
    3. On the page displayed, handle risk alerts, vulnerabilities, or baseline inspection items.
• The security score is updated when you refresh status of the alert incident after risk handling. After you fix the risks, you can click Check Again so that SecMaster can check and score your system again.
  

  After risks are fixed, manually ignore or handle alert incidents and update the alert incident status in the alert list. The risk severity can be down to a proper level accordingly.

• The security score reflects the security situation of your system last time you let SecMaster check the system. To obtain the latest score, click Check Again.

Security Monitoring

The Security Monitoring area includes Threat Alarms, Vulnerabilities, and Abnormal Baseline Settings, which sort risks that have not been handled.

Your Security Score over Time

SecMaster displays your security scores over the last 7 days. The statistics are updated every 5 minutes.
