Configuration page in the Instance Security Center.
Overview and purpose
The Instance Security Center calculates a Daily Compliance Score, expressed as a
percentage. It is based on how compliant your current instance security settings are with
the compliance values in Instance Security Hardening Settings.
Using its Hardening Compliance Configuration page, you can manage the specific security
configuration settings that may affect the score for your instance. To learn more about
ensuring your instances meet hardening requirements, see:
Consult the Instance Security Hardening Settings
whenever you set or update security-related properties, even if some of the
compliance values may not be suitable for your instance. When you are updating these properties, ensure
that the instance continues to behave as expected. Consult with the appropriate
internal personnel who have the expertise to determine the security
impacts.
