Security
All tape library products are designed and documented for use within a controlled
server environment with no general network access. This will give the best
functionality and protection from compromise, both from the internet in general and
from the internal entity operating the library.
General Security Principles
The following principles are fundamental to using any product securely.
Keep Software Up To Date
One of the principles of good security practice is to keep all software versions and
patches up to date. Throughout this document, we assume software levels of:
SL500 1485
■
SL3000 4.02
■
SL8500 8.31
■
Restrict Network Access
Keep the library behind a data center firewall. The firewall provides assurance that
access to these systems is restricted to a known network route, which can be
monitored and restricted, if necessary. As an alternative, a firewall router substitutes
for multiple, independent firewalls. Identifying the hosts allowed to attach to the
library and blocking all other hosts is recommended where possible.
