Security advice
Cambium Network’s systems and equipment provide security parameters that can be configured by the
operator based on their particular operating environment. Cambium recommends setting and using these
parameters following industry recognized security practices. Security aspects to be considered are
protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and assets. Assets include the ability
to communicate, information about the nature of the communications, and information about the parties
involved.
In certain instances, Cambium makes specific recommendations regarding security practices, however the
implementation of these recommendations and final responsibility for the security of the system lies with
the operator of the system.
