IMPORTANT
CSTA MUX manages servers that contain personal information. In order to prevent data theft and leakage,
we recommend the following:
•
Set a password-protected screensaver to activate after your computer has been idle for a set amount
of time.
•
Use Windows Update to keep your system up-to-date with the latest software patches.
•
Set a login password that is at least 5 characters long, and contains a combination of letters and
numbers.
•
When the computer used for CSTA MUX is transferred, disposed of, or taken out of service, ensure all
sensitive data is securely erased.
•
Carefully manage access to the CSTA MUX computer, and install a firewall to prevent unauthorised
access from the internet. Whenever possible, use SSL or other forms of secure data communication.
•
Take care when making settings for CSTA MUX, and keep a record of all settings data, in case you
need to re-install CSTA MUX. Keep any recorded settings secure to prevent access by unauthorised
parties.
•
When having the computer running CSTA MUX serviced, use only authorised technicians.
