The following table describes scenarios for the device secure settings:


Scenario	Secure Settings	Device Config
Fresh installation of XCO	Enabled (Default)	Applied on device registration
Fresh installation	Disabled	No settings are applied during registration
Upgrade from prior releases. Security hardening configuration is executed on the device with same configuration as the default settings in XCO.	Enabled (Default)	Device update will result in `cfg-in-sync`
Upgrade from prior releases. Security hardening configuration is executed on the device with different configuration than the default settings in XCO.	Enabled (Default)	Device update will result in `cfg-refresh`
Upgrade from prior releases. No security hardening configuration is executed on the device.	Enabled (Default)	Device update will result in `cfg-refresh`
Upgrade from prior releases	Disabled	Device update will result in `cfg-in-sync`
