Hardening setting updates for SSC

Learn about the updates made to hardening settings in ServiceNow Security Center (SSC).

Feature enhancements	ISC vs SSC
Expanded security hardening settings	SSC contains a much larger number of hardening settings compared to previous versions of ISC. Future SSC versions will continue to expand the number of settings.
Simplified scoring of hardening settings	ISC utilizes a formula that ensures a specific percentage impact for high, medium, and low settings. SSC uses a different formula: Every setting has its own score weight. The hardening compliance score is calculated by dividing numerator (sum of all compliant settings) by the denominator (sum of the impact weights for all settings).
Enhanced user experience for evaluating data	Compare compliance scores over two different dates. Visualize compliance scores on a line graph, and analyze data using Analytics Hub.
