Hardening the Device
Recommendations to optimize cybersecurity in a protected environment:
• Harden the device according to your company policies and standards.
• Review assumptions about protected environments and address potential risks and mitigation strategies. See
"Product defense-in-depth" for more details.
• Change the default passwords/passcodes. See "Changing passwords" for more details.
• Change the communication protocol ports from their default values. This lowers the predictability of port use.
• Disable communication protocol ports when they are not in use. This reduces the attack surface.
Firmware Upgrades
When device firmware is upgraded – security configuration remains the same until changed, including usernames and
passwords/passcodes. It is recommended to review security configuration after an upgrade to analyze privileges for new or
changed device features and revoke or apply them according to your company policies and standards.
Secure Disposal Guidelines
Use the Secure disposal checklist when disposing a device to help prevent potential disclosure of data.
