| 8 | The communication between the server and client is unencrypted
|
|---|
| 9 | and there is no authorization required to access exported
|
|---|
| 10 | devices. An attacker might sniff sensitive data or gain control
|
|---|
| 11 | over a device. To mitigate this risk, the device should be
|
|---|
| 12 | exposed over a local network to which only trusted clients have
|
|---|
| 13 | access. To access the device remotely over a public network, a
|
|---|
| 14 | VPN solution should be used to provide the required level of
|
|---|
| 15 | security protection.
