3.4 Cybersecurity measures
Like all computer-based systems, X-MIND prime might be exposed to Cybersecurity
threats.
X-MIND prime is equipped with hardware provisions that make sure that no unwanted
X-ray exposure, laser radiation or motorized movements can be activated even in case
of cyber-attack or software failure.
Nevertheless, in order to minimize the possibility of cyber-attacks, it is the user
responsibility to make sure that the following protection measures are followed.
•
The initial software installation and system set-up shall be done by authorized and
trained personnel only and using the software provided with the machine
•
Any software or firmware upgrade of the equipment shall be done by authorized and
trained personnel only
•
After any software or firmware upgrade, or any other maintenance operation, image
quality checks shall be performed to ensure the system is working as expected.
Instructions are given in chapter 7
•
Password-protect each user account on the Windows login. Passwords shall be
strong enough (at least made of 8 alphanumeric characters), shall be safely
managed by every user (for example they have not been written down), and should
be periodically changed (if the system is supplied with a PC, the Windows user is
password-protected, but it is user responsibility to change the default password and
set new ones for all the different users that will have access to the system)
•
Activate a screensaver that requires a password to be unblocked after a timeout of
5-10 minute, giving this way an automatic timed method to terminate sessions,
preventing an unauthorized access to the computer when it is not used (if the system
is supplied with a PC, the screen saver is activated by default)
•
Install an antivirus software and keep virus definitions up to date
•
Activate the windows firewall on the host PC (if the system is supplied with a PC,
the Windows firewall is activated by default)
•
It is recommended to activate a hardware firewall on the WAN router/modem used
for internet connection, if present
•
Make sure that all other PCs in the network are protected by an anti-virus
•
Make a virus scan of USB sticks or CD/DVD media before using them to check that
they are free of viruses, malware or any dangerous software
•
Avoid installation of an unknown or untrusted software since it may undermine the
performance and safety of the computer and the equipment
•
Keep the Windows operating system up to date by installing all security patches
•
Make regular copies (backup) of all your valuable data and store them in a safe
place, separately from the host PC
