Cybersecurity
EasyOne Air
is protected against cyberattacks. However, to maintain security,
you must follow the guidelines that are laid out in this chapter.
5.1
About cybersecurity
EasyOne Connect
can be installed on regular
Windows
PCs. The operating
institution is responsible for installing an antivirus software and a firewall on
the PC, for installing critical
Windows
updates regularly, and for keeping the
PC otherwise secure.
EasyOne Connect
does not run with
Windows
administrator privileges.
EasyOne Air
itself is not directly connected to the network.
EasyOne Connect
can be connected to a network for various purposes, but can
also function stand-alone without network access. The file-based database is
encrypted. Alternatively, it is also possible to connect
EasyOne Connect
to an
SQL-server-based database.
5.2
About password policies and password expiration
You can use a combination of user name and password in order to control
access to
EasyOne Connect
. It is the responsibility of the operating institution
to apply the appropriate password policies (for example, password strength
and password renewal intervals).
EasyOne Connect
does not include functionality for password strength and
password expiration requirements. In case user handling is deactivated a
default password is used to restrict access to certain functionalities.
Follow these general recommendations on password strength in case your
institution does not have a more specific policy:
• Use a minimum password length of 8 characters.
• Include lowercase and uppercase alphabetic characters, numbers and
symbols.
• Generate passwords randomly where feasible.
Follow this general recommendation for a password renewal interval in case
your institution does not have a more specific policy:
• Passwords should be renewed after 90 days.
