Polycom HDX system security profiles provide varying levels of secure access
to your Polycom HDX system. The security profile your HDX system uses
provides the basis for secure access within the system and determines how
users can operate the system.
The security profile is selected during system setup with the setup wizard. The
default values and ability to change some HDX system settings are affected by
which security profile your system uses. Refer to the tables in
Security Profile Tables, on page E-1 to see how these settings are affected for
each security profile.
Consider each security profile as a set of default values for all configuration
settings that affect product security that achieves some level of base product
security. You can choose from five profiles—Maximum, High, Medium, Low,
and Minimum. Each profile provides a basic security posture, ranging from
the most secure to the least secure, which allows you to select a level of security
that is appropriate for the deployment of the system in your environment.
Polycom recommends that you select the profile that is closest to the level of
security you want in your environment and then customize the settings from
there as needed. In the higher profiles, however, some settings are either not
changeable at all or have restricted ranges of values. For specific configuration
information, refer to each profile's settings in
Tables, on page E-1.
