Baseline Check overview

Features

After you activate Baseline Check, Security Center automatically detects risks related to the systems, accounts, databases, passwords, and security compliance configurations of your servers, and provides resolutions. For more information on the check items, see Baseline Check items.

Security Center automatically checks your baseline configurations from 00:00 to 06:00 every day. You can create the check policies and manage the policies. When you create or modify a policy, you can customize the items, the cycle, and the time of a baseline check, and select the servers to which you want to apply this policy.

Restrictions

Baseline Check is a value-added service of Security Center. Only Enterprise Edition or users can activate and use this service. A Basic Edition or Pro Edition user must upgrade to Enterprise Edition to use this service.

Logon attempts may be required to check for weak passwords on applications such as MySQL and SQL Server. This leads to server resource consumption and many logon failure records. Therefore, Security Center disables the check for weak passwords on specific applications and system compliance with classified protection standards by default. To check these items, make sure that you are aware of the risks mentioned above, and select these items when you customize a scan policy.
