General Security Considerations

This section provides security recommendations to be followed when installing LogLogic® Universal Collector in a secure manner.

Full security

The administrator must ensure that the machines on which LogLogic® Universal Collectors are installed are fully secured. These machines must be located in a physically secure environment in which only trusted personnel have access.

Password

The administrator must ensure that the default admin password to connect to the machine is changed. A good password has a combination of alphabetic and numeric characters and consists of at least eight characters in length. It must be known by a very restricted number of people.

Updates

All operating systems and software installed on the machine must be correctly updated to avoid any security breach that can expose admin rights.
