Device capabilities and recommended use
As the device typically uses network communication extensively, please note the follow‐
ing when designing a cybersecurity concept for the system this device shall be part of:
•
When correctly configured, the Nova 2D SensorApp offers basic authentication for
the GUI to prevent unintentional or accidental misuse. However, the underlying
browser to device communication is not authenticated.
•
All communication (images, configuration, logs) between the device and network
devices (e.g. a computer used for configuration), should be assumed to be unen‐
crypted unless otherwise specified.
•
It is recommended to always use the latest software to ensure that the latest
security patches are applied.
•
It is recommended to only connect the device to private isolated networks. At
all points where there is a physical connection to external, possibly untrusted
networks, it is strongly recommended to block all network traffic to and from the
device using a firewall.
•
A user who develops custom software running on the device (i.e. development
in SICK AppSpace) is responsible for the security of the developed solution.
For example, the web-based CROWN interface does not offer any authentica‐
tion, and should be disabled when possible for increased security. For more
information, see the SICK AppSpace Security Concepts document: supportpor‐
tal.sick.com/Product_notes/sick-appspace-security-concepts/.
Network services
The device uses several network services for its operation. For information about
the factory default settings when using the device with the Nova 2D SensorApp, see
