7.3 Security Threads that Affect Honeywell HGR
Some of the common security threats that may affect the Honeywell HGR thick client 
application.
1. We strongly recommend installing the Honeywell SmartConfig PC tool to an isolated 
Windows PC system.
2. No services or ports (except those that are required for internal maintenance purposes) 
are allowed on the PC. The PC needs to be regularly scanned for opened ports and 
services.
3. As the PC contains important information of Fire panel configuration, none of the 
operators can have privilege (administrative) accounts.
4. Corporate Anti-malware solution needs to be installed and maintained on the device 
with regular scans (can be adjusted according to the manufacturing capabilities to 
minimize interference with production).
5. Blue tooth should not be turned on when not in use as apps can use lots of data without 
your knowledge.
6. The activity needs to be logged, including administrative.
7. USB usage needs to be scanned by Anti-malware or formatted before we use.
NOTE: User passcodes require upper case and lower case alphanumeric characters, at least 10 digits. It is 
strongly recommended that website users set longer passcodes, ensure passcode complexity, and update 
account passcodes every three months to ensure account security.
