    CIS (Center for Internet Security) benchmarks. The Aperio GT 450 DX scanner and SAM DX are not intended to store sensitive data, only to export/upload data to connected applications on separate network servers. The connection between the Aperio GT 450 DX scanner and the SAM DX server is authenticated through an encrypted, secure SSL/TLS connection.
  • Page 37: Data Protection

    Data at rest is protected by encryption. However, due to limitations of the operating system, Private Health Information (PHI) data cannot be protected in transit. Leica Biosystems recommends that you protect data in transit by using SSL with strong security protocols such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) or network-level encryption such as IPSec or SSH tunneling.
