User Guide1.2
Corrupt data due to malicious software
The security of the system and its data depends on its protection against
malicious software. If the instruments on which the system operates
become infected with malicious software, it could compromise the security
of the system.
Install a firewall, maintain up to date antivirus software and keep your
operating system up to date.
Configure the firewall to allow instruments and information systems to
connect with the modules of the cobas® infinity POC mobile solution.
Unstable system behavior due to changes in the date or time on
the server
Setting the date or time on the server hosting any of the modules of the
cobas® infinity POC mobile solution to the future date and then back to the
current date may lead to unstable system behavior. Install a firewall,
maintain up to date antivirus software and keep your operating system up
to date.
Avoid changing the server time or date to the future and then back to
the current time or date.
False or corrupt data due to unauthorized access
Data security is breached if unauthorized users have access to your user ID
and password.
Always enter your password unobserved.
Do not write down your password.
Never write down the password in a contact form, in the address book
or in a file on the computer.
Do not disclose your password to anyone.
