Security Settings module parameters

The Security Inventory (SecurityInventory) module shows if the related device includes the Security Inventory module. By default, when the agent is installed, the Security Inventory module is configured to be loaded at start time if the required license is valid. The security inventory in BCM Inventory allows you to collect information pertaining specifically to the security and vulnerability aspect of your devices. The Security Inventory is collected via operational rules.
