Hardening
Hardening
is a term used to describe the process of securing a networked device’s various
interfaces. This includes removing or limiting certain features to prevent their abuse, and
securing the data hosted by the device.
As of Version 1.5, the Makito X includes features that allow the administrative interface to
be secured.
These features are described in detail in the Makito X Hardening Guide, available from
Haivision’s Download Center at

NOTE
Any Makito X
encoder at Version 1.5 or higher can be hardened by following the
procedures described in this guide.
The Makito X Hardening Guide provides the procedures to install and configure Makito X
encoders to be hardened. This guide is written for administrators and assumes that the
reader is familiar with networks and network terminology. No encoder-specific knowledge
is required. This guide also assumes that the reader is a trusted individual.
