Host Assessment Tool status indicators (continued)
Explanation Indicator
Spotlights a security feature that is not in use, but that is worth
considering. This indicator is intended to increase awareness.
Some features might not be appropriate for your environment. Yellow diamond
Signifies that a security setting is enabled. Green circle
The color-coded indicators provide a visual cue about whether you are taking
advantage of the security features in pcAnywhere. As you review the results, be
aware that having more of one indicator than another does not necessarily mean
that the host configuration is secure or not secure.
Some security settings might not be appropriate for your environment. For
example, the Host Assessment Tool checks for caller accounts that have superuser
rights, and if found, identifies the caller with a red indicator. In most cases, you
should limit the level of access that a remote user has to your computer. However,
if the caller account is for yourself or another trusted user, it might be appropriate
to allow more access rights.
