Configuring Policies

After HSS is enabled, you can configure HSS policies based on your service requirements.

Constraints

• The enterprise, premium, WTP, or container edition is enabled.

• For the default policy groups, you are advised to retain their default configurations.

• Modifications on a policy take effect only in the group it belongs to.

Accessing the Policies Page

1. Log in to the management console.

2. Click in the upper left corner of the page, select a region, and choose Security > HSS. The HSS page is displayed.

3. In the navigation tree on the left, choose Security Operation > Policies. On the displayed page, Policy group parameters describes the fields.

   Note

   If your servers are managed by enterprise projects, you can select an enterprise project to view or operate the asset and scan information.
