# Enable High Security plugin

# Enable High Security plugin {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
When you activate the High Security plugin, it creates or updates hundreds of different
configurations to control the level of security on your instance. These configurations mitigate
many of the top OWASP attacks by enabling strict access control, input validation, and output
encoding.
The High Security plugin, activated by default, creates more than 900 different configurations to control the level of security on your instance. These configurations enable strict access control, input validation, and output
encoding. It separates user functionality from access control management functionality through requiring administrators to explicitly elevate into a security_admin role before making access control changes.

Ensure that the plugin com.glide.high_security is activated.
