===Using the System Security Summary===
The benefit of the '''System Security Summary '''is that you can see in one, organized place where all of your system security measures are, and what is lacking in each of them.

This section will bring you through a step-by-step example of fixing the security vulnerability of the '''Password Policy '''which has been indicated on the '''System Security Summary.'''
1. First, [[System Security Summary#Accessing the System Security Summary|go to the System Security Summary]].
2. Find the security item you would like to configure the security settings for from the [[List View Overview|list]]. The item should have a '''red caution '''icon under the '''Attention Required '''column so that you know the security measures need to be changed. You can also look at the level of severity under the '''Severity '''column to gauge how critical the security vulnerability is.
* In this example, the feature is '''Password Policy. '''
3. Read the text inputted into the '''Details '''column, as this will explain what the security vulnerability for the feature is.
* In this case, the issue is that "Password Expiration must be greater than 0."
4. Click on the '''arrow icon '''under the '''URL '''column. This will bring you directly to the configuration page of where that security feature is found.
* In this case, the '''URL '''function brings us to the [[Password Policy|Password and Activation Policies]] part of the system.
5. Locate the specific setting(s) mentioned in the '''Details '''column and modify that setting to increase the security.

6. Click '''Save. '''
