“Nice to have” recommendations to improve your equipment network security
1. Physical Protection
We suggest that you perform physical protection to equipment, especially storage devices. For
example, place the equipment in a special computer room and cabinet, and implement well-done
access control permission and key management to prevent unauthorized personnel from
performing physical contacts such as damaging hardware, unauthorized connections of other
equipment (such as USB flash disk, serial port), etc.
2.
Change Passwords Regularly
We suggest that you change passwords regularly to reduce the risk of being guessed.
