Cybersecurity Principles

These best practices help improve the security of your system by focusing on password management and network configuration.

Password Guidelines

Use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
Ensure passwords are at least 10 characters long.
Avoid dictionary words, use a passphrase when possible.
Change passwords regularly—at least once a year.
Change the default admin password immediately after receiving it or performing a factory reset.
Do not reuse passwords across different accounts or systems.
Change the default local access password after the first login.

Network Guidelines

Connect IoT devices only to your personal home internal network.
IoT devices should not be made directly accessible from internet. Ensure that you DO NOT use port forwarding to access an IoT device from the public internet.
Place IoT devices on a separate network segment. If your router supports VLANs or other network segmentation, use them.
Use the strongest Wi-Fi^® encryption available.

Software Guidelines

Always use the latest software for all devices in order to get new features, cyber security fixes and improvements.
Keep your devices up to date.
