Windows® Security Recommendation
The Product supports the installation of the Client software under the Windows® Operating System. Such a Windows® Client could be set-up on a dedicated computer to be used as a permanent NMS console, it could be set-up on a maintenance laptop or on a company maintained Office PC. Dependent on these different usages the ownership and security responsibility for the Product may not coincide with the responsibility for the maintenance of the Hardware and the Windows® Operating System. Different departments with different security policies may be involved. In such a situation it is not uncommon to end up with a system which is either not fully functional or has relaxed security requirements. This section states measures which should be carefully considered.
