More Information
Summary:A security health reporting system provides an application program interface (API) for use by independent software vendors (ISVs) to extend the security health reporting capabilities of the security health reporting system. An ISV security solution can register with the security health reporting system, create a schema that describes a new security class, and use the API to publish an instance of the schema for the new security class with the security health reporting system. When an instance of a schema for a new security class is published, the security health reporting system creates the new security class, and recognizes the definition for the security class within the security health reporting system. Registered ISV security solutions can then use the published schema to report their health statuses for the new security class.
