Cybersecurity Recommendations Mandatory actions to be taken for basic device network security: 1. Use Strong Passwords Please refer to the following suggestions to set passwords: The length should not be less than 8 characters; Include at least two types of characters; character types include upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols; Do not contain the account name or the account name in reverse order; Do not use continuous characters, such as 123, abc, etc.
8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the device, thus reducing the risk of ARP spoofing. Assign Accounts and Privileges Reasonably According to business and management requirements, reasonably add users and assign a minimum set of permissions to them. Disable Unnecessary Services and Choose Secure Modes If not needed, we recommend turning off some services such as SNMP, SMTP, UPnP, etc., to reduce risks.
