    Table 1 Specifications of the security data collection and retention packages

    Package	Recommended Configuration for Yearly/Monthly Subscription	Package Specifications	Applicable Range
    Security Data Collection	The volume of data you expect SecMaster to collect each day. Minimum value: 5 GB. You can estimate the volume by multiplying the number of ECSs you have by 120 MB. Maximum volume for each order: 500 GB. When you make a purchase, SecMaster auto-fills this parameter based on the new log volume you specify. You do not need to configure this parameter separately.	5 *1 GB	0 GB to 5 GB (included)
    		5 *2 GB	5 GB to 0 GB (included)
    		5 *3 GB	10 GB to 15 GB (included)
    		... The others follow the same rule. A maximum of 500 GB can be purchased through an order.	... The others follow the same rule.
    Security Data Retention	The volume of data you expect SecMaster to store. The minimum volume is 100 GB. You can estimate the volume by multiplying new log volume per day by seven. The maximum volume for each order is 3,500 GB. When you make a purchase, SecMaster auto-fills this parameter based on the new log volume you specify. You do not need to configure this parameter separately.	100 *1 GB	0 GB to 100 GB (included)
    		100 *2 GB	100 GB to 200 GB (included)
    		100 *3 GB	200 GB to 300 GB (included)
    		... The others follow the same rule. A maximum of 3,500 GB can be purchased through an order.	... The others follow the same rule.

    

    • 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.

• Security Analysis
  • Function description:

    Security analysis is the cloud native security information and event management solution SecMaster provides for you. The solution collects logs, reports alerts, aggregates security data, performs association analysis, and more.

  • Purchase configuration description:

    Table 2 lists the free quota of security analysis. 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 volume. You do not need to configure specifications.

    In yearly/monthly billing mode, you need to set the data volume as required. For details, see Table 3.

    Table 2 Specifications for free security analysis quota

    Function		Standard Edition	Professional
    Security Analysis	Security data collection	120 MB/day/quota	120 MB/day/quota
    	Security data retention	120 MB/day/quota	120 MB/day/quota
    	Security data export	120 MB/day/quota	120 MB/day/quota
    	Platform security data	40 MB/day/quota	40 MB/day/quota
    	Security Modeling Analysis	×	120 MB/day/quota

    Security Analysis

    You can estimate the security analysis data volume based on 120 MB/ECS/day. This estimate volume will be applied to security data collection, security data retention, security data export, platform security data, and security modeling analysis as well. If the quota for security analysis is used up, this function becomes unavailable on that day, but it turns to be available at 00:00 the next day. For example, if this parameter is set to 1 GB/day, each day there will be 1 GB of security data that can be collected, 1 GB of security data stored, 1 GB of security data exported, 1 GB of platform security data reported, and 1 GB of data for security modeling analysis.

• SOC
  • Function description:

    Once SecMaster detects a threat, Security Orchestration (SOC) starts automated response orchestration and works with related cloud services to block and isolate threat sources. SOC provides quick and effective security event responses.

  • Purchase configuration description:

    Table 4 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 5.
