Software
Security Dependency |
 |
SCM security is dependent
on the security of the products and technologies described in this
chapter. A threat to the security of these dependencies is a threat
to the security of SCM.
To minimize these threats, always apply the latest patches
and updates available to combat known exploits. For this purpose,
it is helpful to run the Security Patch Check tool on the
HP-UX CMS and all HP-UX managed nodes. This tool helps improve security by
recommending patches for security vulnerabilities in installed software.
See the Security Management tool
category in SCM for tools to facilitate this.
Network
Security Dependency |
|
Use of SCM on a network
without a hardware or software firewall is not recommended. SCM
does not guard against denial of service attacks. For increased
network security, use a separate management LAN, suitably walled
off from other networks.
