Security Guidelines for Keysight S5040A Appliance
Section 1.2: User and Remote Interface Security Measures
1.2.1: Operating System Security Features
1.2.2: USB Interfaces
18
This section describes options you can use to control and configure remote
access to the instrument, including operating system security features and
USB interfaces.
The instrument's Windows 10 operating system includes features you can
invoke or modify to enhance system security.
•
The instruments provide the ability to create custom user accounts, and
assign different security levels to each account by adding it to an
existing group. The group types predefined by Windows are:
Administrator, Power User, User, Backup Operator, and Guest, but you
can also define new group types.
•
The instruments have the standard Windows Firewall enabled by
default to provide more protection for instruments that have a network
(or internet) connection.
•
The instruments provide the ability to install standard third-party
antivirus and spyware detection software designed for use with
Windows. If your instrument uses a network (or internet) connection,
using this software is advisable.
The instrument's Microsoft Windows operating system can be configured
to improve the security of the USB interfaces.
Disabling or Enabling AutoRun/AutoPlay
AutoRun and AutoPlay are Windows features that help you select
appropriate actions when new media and devices are detected. AutoRun is
disabled in the instrument by default, for improved security, unless the
Administrator account is running. (In Administrator mode, AutoRun is
enabled, to aid with program installation.)
You can change the AutoRun configuration by editing the value of one of
two Windows Registry keys. The Windows Registry is a database that
stores critical configuration information for the instrument's operating
system.
