    Table 1 Parameters for purchasing SecMaster

    Parameter

    Description

    Billing Mode

    Select Yearly/Monthly or Pay-per-use billing mode based on your needs.

    • Yearly/Monthly billing is a prepaid mode in which you pay for the service before using it. Your bill is settled based on the required period. The longer you use the service, the more discounts you got.
    • Pay-per-use billing is a postpaid mode in which you pay for what you use. You are billed by 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 your purchase is complete.

    NOTE:
    • The maximum quota is 10,000.
    • If some of your ECSs 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 ECS quota upon an increase of the host asset quantity.

    You can enable Large Screen, Log Audit, Security Analysis, and SOC function. If you want to purchase value-added package in yearly/monthly billing mode, select a required duration.

      • The quotas of security data retention 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 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 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 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.
