Security Checklist
Before installing the device, make sure your security system meets the following security
requirements.
Physical Security
The device must be installed on a secure place that is accessible only by authorized administrators.
Security Policy
Keep the device secure by meeting the following security policies.
Unique Connection Point
If TrusGuard is installed and used on a network, the network must be divided into external and internal
ones. All communications between the two networks must be conducted via TrusGuard only.
Security Maintenance
If there is any change in the internal network environment as a result of changing the network
configuration or increasing/decreasing the host or service, you must immediately reflect the changes
and security policy in the current security policy of AhnLab TrusGuard, in order to keep the security
level the same as before.
Regular Security Policy Check
Set AhnLab TrusGuard to record logs, and check the security policy and system logs regularly.
Remote Connection Prohibited
Prohibit remote access to the system other than authorized hosts.
Use of Default Account Prohibited
After the initial log in with the default account, you must change the account information.
OS Reinforcement
Any unnecessary service is terminated while using TrusGuard, and the latest patch is applied, which
complements the OS vulnerabilities in order to secure the credibility and reliability of the OS.
Secured Operating System
An authorized administrator must apply security policies when an external user attempts to access
VPN for system security and safety. Users must be trained and be fully aware of the security policies.
