CAUTION
!
Data loss or unavailability of the system due to
malicious software or unauthorized system access
Malicious software or unauthorized system access can
result in data loss or system unavailability.
To avoid infection by malicious software or the
unauthorized access and misuse of the system, the
following recommendations are essential:
r Make sure other computers and services on the
network (for example, the LIS, archiving share, backup
share, or service) are properly secured and protected
against malicious software and unauthorized access.
r Restrict physical access to the system and all attached
IT infrastructure (computer, cables, network
equipment, and so on).
r Check all external storage devices, like CDs, DVDs, or
USB mass storage devices with an anti-virus scanner
(on another computer) to ensure that they are free of
malicious software, before using them on the system.
r Use state-of-the-art security mechanisms (e.g. WPA2
EAP) to protect Wi-Fi connections.
r Allow only defined users to read and write encryption
keys (IIS App config / Windows Server Hardening).
r Allow only internet access to trusted web sites and
web services.
r Enable Data Execution Prevention for all applications
(Windows Server).
r Make sure to use secure channels to download
software updates of the system.
CAUTION
!
Product itself not additionally protected against
malicious software and hacker attacks
The customers are responsible for IT security of their IT
infrastructure and for protecting it against malicious
software and hacker attacks. This protection might
include a firewall to separate the device from
uncontrolled networks or measures that ensure that the
connected network is free of malicious code. Failure to do
so may result in data loss or render the product unusable.
r Ensure that the product protection against malicious
software and hacker attacks is sufficient.
r The app does not come with its own antivirus
software. Therefore, Roche recommends protecting
corresponding computers and mobile devices against
harmful software using an antivirus software. If
problems occur, contact your Roche Service
representative.
