Security Center:Use the playbook feature

Last Updated:Nov 08, 2023

Security Center provides automatic orchestration and response capabilities on the Playbook page. This allows you to orchestrate the logic of repetitive tasks in the response to security events into automatic processing policies. This helps reinforce the security of your system. After you create an automatic vulnerability fixing task, the task automatically runs on the assets that you select. This topic describes how to use the playbook feature.

Background information

You can quickly create an automatic vulnerability fixing task by using an existing policy on the My Policy tab of the Playbook page. After you create a task, the task automatically fixes the vulnerabilities that are detected on the selected servers based on the start time that you specify. This helps reinforce the security of your system. The tasks that are created on the Playbook page can fix Linux software vulnerabilities, Windows system vulnerabilities, and Web-CMS vulnerabilities.

Limits

Only the Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Security Center support this feature. For more information about how to purchase and upgrade Security Center, see Purchase Security Center and Upgrade and downgrade Security Center.
