Abstract: A method for verifying that default passwords have been changed without causing a security lockout, is provided, including enabling user identifiers associated with a plurality of devices, prior to an initial security test, identifying, a default password for a user identifier of each device, attempting a login to each device using the default password for the user identifier of each device, wherein: in response to determining that the login is successful, raising an alert against the user identifier as a security concern and maintaining an enabled state of the user identifier, in response to determining that the login is unsuccessful, disabling the user identifier so that the user identifier is in a non-enabled state, until a security lockout interval elapses, and retrying the login only for each user identifier in an enabled state during one or more subsequent security tests initiated after a predetermined alert interval.

Abstract: A method and system. A health and compliance check report for a network including two or more devices is received. The report includes a list of health and compliance check findings at a particular time. Each finding indicates a determination of non-compliance of a subject device of the two or more devices with a predetermined requirement and includes a severity value associated with the determination of non-compliance of the subject device. For each finding in the report, a ranking value is determined based on the associated severity value and an importance value of one or more devices connected to the subject device.

Abstract: A compliance method and associated system is provided. The method includes generating backup devices for devices of a list of devices associated with a data storage environment. A device from the list of devices is selected and available credentials for connecting and authenticating the device are determined. Configuration and operational state data for the device are retrieved. A backup device associated with the device is selected and associated policies are loaded. Each policy is evaluated with respect to the backup devices, associated dependencies, and the configuration and operational state data. Compliant and non-compliant policies with respect to the backup devices are determined.
