Security considerations overview
The UPS Network Module implements strict security for two important reasons:
•
The UPS Network Module manages devices that have the potential to perform operations that are
sensitive and destructive.
•
The UPS Network Module has browser accessibility.
To better ensure the security of the UPS Network Module and the devices it manages, consider the following
topics in accordance with your organization's security policies and the environment in which the UPS
Network Module operates.
•
Remote access to the UPS Network Module requires a user account. Logging in requires the use of a
user name and password, which should be kept properly secured.
•
Each account can be given different access levels, providing different capabilities. Ensure that the
appropriate access level is granted to users.
•
Browsing to the UPS Network Module can be done using SSL, which encrypts the data between the
browser and UPS Network Module. The UPS Network Module is supported by a 128-bit encryption
level. SSL also provides authentication of the UPS Network Module by means of its digital certificate.
Securely importing this certificate must be done to ensure the identification of the UPS Network Module.
