NetBackup and NetBackup Appliances Hardening Guide

About the security meter

NetBackup Flex Scale includes a security meter to view and configure the appliance security settings from one location. The security meter provides security insights and recommendations to improve the appliance security. The security meter keeps a track of the security settings and shows you a list of available security features with quick links to configure them. The security meter displays the current security index from good to excellent based on how many security features are turned on. Built-in security features are turned on and shown as Enabled in the security meter.

The security meter can be found on the appliance dashboard. Only a user with an Appliance administrator role can view and manage the settings from the security meter.

The following figure shows the security meter that is displayed on the appliance dashboard:
