warning
potential compromise of System availability, integrity, and confidentiality
• Change default passwords to help prevent unauthorized access to device settings and information.
• Disable unused ports/services and default accounts to help minimize pathways for malicious attackers.
• Place networked devices behind multiple layers of cyber defenses (such as firewalls, network segmentation, and network intrusion detection and protection).
• Use cyber security best practices (for example: least privilege, separation of duties) to help prevent unauthorized exposure, loss, or modification of data and logs, or interruption of services.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, equipment damage, or permanent loss of data.
Note: Adding attachments can introduce malicious software or viruses to the configuration. See Configuration Manager security for details on how to minimize potential security risks.
