2.3 Protocols
Secure/non-secure protocols
• Use only secure protocols when access to the device is not secured by physical protection
measures.
The following protocols provide secure alternatives:
HTTP → HTTPS
• To prevent unauthorized access to the device or network, set up appropriate safeguards
against non-secure protocols.
• Enable only the services (protocols) that will actually be used on the device. The same
applies to the installed interfaces/ports. Unused ports could be used to access the network
downstream from the device.
