Viewing and Understanding the Security Score

The security score in Cloud Guard provides a rough estimate of how secure your system is.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security. Under Cloud Guard, click Overview.
    2. View the Security score tile in the top-left corner.
      • The numeric security score indicates the percentage of resources that Cloud Guard examined and didn't flag as potential problems.
      • A higher security score is better. A security score of 100 would mean that no problems were detected for any resources.
      Note

      The security score reflects monitoring for the past 30 days. Cloud Guard updates the security score calculation continuously.

  • For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

    Use the oci cloud-guard security-score-aggregation request-security-scores command and required parameters to get a page of SecurityScoreAggregation resources. These measure the number of resources examined across all regions and compare it with the number of problems detected for a compartment:

    oci cloud-guard security-score-aggregation request-security-scores --compartment-id, -c <compartment_ocid> [OPTIONS]

    Use the oci cloud-guard security-score-aggregation request-security-score-summarized-trend command and required parameters to get a measure of the number of resources examined across all regions, compared with the number of problems detected, for a given time period:

    oci cloud-guard security-score-aggregation request-security-score-summarized-trend --compartment-id, -c <compartment_ocid> [OPTIONS]
  • Run the RequestSecurityScores operation to to get a page of SecurityScoreAggregation resources. These measure the number of resources examined across all regions and compare it with the number of problems detected for a compartment.

    Run the RequestSecurityScoreSummarizedTrend operation to get a measure of the number of resources examined across all regions, compared with the number of problems detected, for a given time period.
