NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide

Set the current posture as security baseline

Current posture comprises the current values of NetBackup security settings. It is recommended that you enable all security settings to minimize the security configuration risk.

See About security configuration risk.

Security baseline is a collection of recommended security settings for your NetBackup domain. For the first time, you configure the security settings as per the recommendation, and use this current posture as your security baseline.

Note:

If API is used to set the security baseline, ensure that you provide at least one attribute. Rest of the attributes are set to null. Use the current posture values as security baseline.

At any point in time, a user with the view and update global security settings permissions can set the current configuration posture as the security baseline.

Set the current posture as security baseline

  1. Enable the security settings to minimize the security configuration risk.

    See Security settings to be configured to minimize risk.

  2. On the Global security settings > Overview tab, click Set security baseline.

    After the security baseline is set, if a NetBackup security setting is modified and therefore it no longer complies with the security baseline, it is flagged in the compliance status on the Global security settings > Overview tab.
