Description: Provides anti-ransomware backup and recovery. After a ransomware attack, you can use backup files to restore servers and databases.

Purchase instructions:

• The purchase quantity determines the anti-ransomware capacity, which depends on the size of files to back up and the backup retention period, not the number of servers.

• Supported only in specific regions. Set the protection data volume as needed. For supported regions, see Supported regions.

• If you select Set Recommended Policy, important file paths on existing servers are automatically backed up regularly. To adjust, go to the Anti-ransomware page to modify the policy. For details, see Modify server anti-ransomware policies.

Description: Provides identity permission management, automated compliance inspection, and cloud product configuration baseline detection for unified multi-cloud risk management.

Purchase instructions:Billed by service authorization count. Service authorization count =scan count (number of cloud products×number of asset instances×number of check items) + verification count + successful remediation count.

Description:

• Agentic SOC: Supports unified log ingestion across clouds, accounts, and products (such as WAF, Cloud Firewall, and VPC). Provides closed-loop detection and response for security alerts and events, improving security operations and meeting MLPS compliance log audit requirements.

• Security Operations Agent: An advanced intelligent add-on based on Agentic SOC. Powered by Agentic AI, it integrates Alibaba Cloud native security data and infrastructure, using autonomous perception-reasoning-execution capabilities for independent security event analysis and rapid incident response.

Purchase instructions:

• Uses modular billing. Billing items vary based on purchase options. For details, see Agentic SOC - Subscription.

  • Agentic SOC: Billed by Log Ingestion Traffic and Log Storage Capacity separately. You can purchase them based on actual needs.

    Log ingestion traffic (GB/day)

    • Purpose: Used for core security operations such as real-time threat detection, attack tracing, and alert analysis. After purchase, you can use most Agentic SOC core features including threat detection and incident response.

    • Estimate capacity :

      • Estimate based on existing logs

        Daily traffic (GB) = Total log storage capacity (GB) / Log retention days (TTL).

        Example: If you have 10,000 GB of logs retained for 90 days, daily traffic is approximately 10000 / 90 ≈ 111 GB. We recommend purchasing 200 GB/day.

      • Estimate based on log generation rate (EPS)

        Daily traffic (GB) = EPS (logs per second) × 86400 × Average log size (KB) / 1024

        • EPS: Number of logs generated per second.

        • Average log size: Typically between 3 KB and 7 KB.

    Log storage capacity (GB)

    • Purpose: Used for long-term log storage for query and audit, meeting the Cybersecurity Law and MLPS 2.0 requirements that logs must be retained for at least 180 days, and supports retrospective analysis of historical events.

    • Estimate capacity:

      • Estimate by server count: We recommend configuring 120GB of log storage capacity per server.

      • Estimate based on existing capacity: Set the capacity to 3 times your current Security Center - Log Analysis purchase amount.

  • Security Operations Agent: In addition to purchasing Agentic SOC, you also need to purchase Intelligent Usage Analysis and Number of Managed Instances.

    • Intelligent Usage Analysis: Security Operations Agent Analysis usage for alert analysis, incident investigation, tracing, attribution, and security report generation. The purchase quantity cannot be auto-filled and must match Log Ingestion Traffic.

      Note

      Intelligent Usage Analysis Cleared daily. The system automatically throttles after exceeding the limit.

    • Number of Managed Instances: Security Operations Agent Supports cross-instance security operations and automated handling. Billed by managed instance count. Each invoked instance (ECS, WAF, ALB, cross-cloud products, on-premises security vendor products, etc.) counts as one.

      Note

      Cleared monthly. Each instance is counted only once with automatic deduplication.

• If you select Access Policy, automatically connect to the current Alibaba Cloud account's Security Center, WAF, Cloud Firewall and ActionTrail log sources.
