    Description

    Resource Overview

    (component 1 in Dashboard)

    Check the unprotected servers or containers compared with the total number, agents to be upgraded, idle quotas.

    • Click the number of unprotected resources to go to the server or container management page and view the unprotected resource list.
    • Click the number of agents to be upgraded to go to the agent list and upgrade agents.
    • Click the number of idle quotas to go to the protection quota list.
    NOTE:

    HSS will be continuously upgraded to provide new features and fix bugs. To enjoy better HSS features, upgrade the agent to the latest version in a timely manner. For details, see Upgrading the agent.

    Secure score

    (component 2 in Dashboard)

    The security score is in the range 0 to 100. The default score for risk-free assets is 100. Points are deducted based on baseline risks, vulnerability risks, intrusion risks, and asset risks. A low score indicates high security risks in assets. To ensure the security of your assets, you are advised to handle security risks in a timely manner and improve the security score.

    1. In the Security Score area, click View Now.
    2. In the Handle Now dialog box, view the deduction items and click to expand the details.
    3. Click Handle on the right of deduction items to go to the corresponding risk list. You can rectify the fault based on the risk details and handling suggestions.

      For details about the score deduction items and how to increase the score, see Security Scores Criteria and Methods for Improving Scores.

Security Scores Criteria and Methods for Improving Scores

The security score for risk-free assets is 100. A low score indicates high security risks in assets. HSS calculates your security score based on detected security items (vulnerabilities, compliance, intrusions, assets, and images) and unprotected assets. Scores are deducted every time a risk is detected in a category until all scores in that category are deducted. The full score of each category is as follows:

  • No vulnerabilities detected: 20. For details about the score deduction criteria and improvement methods, see Table 2.
  • No compliance risks detected: 20. For details about the score deduction criteria and improvement methods, see Table 3.
  • No intrusion risks detected: 30. For details about the score deduction criteria and improvement methods, see Table 4.
  • No asset risks detected: 10. For details about the score deduction criteria and improvement methods, see Table 5.
  • No image risks detected: 10. For details about the score deduction criteria and improvement methods, see Table 6.
  • No unprotected assets detected: 10. For details about the score deduction criteria and improvement methods, see Table 7.
