class CIM_SecuritySensitivity : CIM_ManagedElement

Description:

Defines a security sensitivity level, which can be associated with a ManagedElement. A simple example is to define security levels representing 'low sensitivity', 'moderately sensitive', 'high sensitivity' and 'national security' classification levels. An element is assigned a security level via the association, ElementSecurityLevel. It can be assigned to any ManagedElement, such as Locations, Identities, Roles, Systems, Services and LogicalFiles. A security level is determined by a business, organization and/or government based on the need to protect data and entities from attack, loss, abuse or unauthorized disclosure, and the ramifications if this protection is not maintained.

Feature Type Class Origin Qualifiers
InstanceID string CIM_ManagedElement
Key TRUE
Override InstanceID
Description Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. In order to ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID SHOULD be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm: <OrgID>:<LocalID> Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon ':', and where <OrgID> MUST include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity creating/defining the InstanceID, or is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness <OrgID> MUST NOT contain a colon (':'). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID MUST appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>. <LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and SHOULD not be re-used to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity MUST assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this instance's NameSpace. For DMTF defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm MUST be used with the <OrgID> set to 'CIM'.
Caption string CIM_ManagedElement
Description The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
MaxLen 64
Description string CIM_ManagedElement
Description The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
ElementName string CIM_ManagedElement
Description A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information. Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.
SecurityLevel string CIM_SecuritySensitivity
Description A string defining the security sensitivity level.
