What are the cybersecurity enhancements of the Gigabit Network Card (NETWORK-M2)?

Encryption

  • Latest encryption algorithms with strong keys
  • Only secure protocols enabled by default
  • Firmware is signed and encrypted, and will not boot if tampered with

Password management

  • Requires change of password on setup
  • Configurable requirements for password complexity
  • Certificate based authentication in machine to machine connections – no username/password information saved on the client machine, separate certificates for each protocol

Performance and design

  • Only necessary services enabled by default
  • File system is signed and checked at runtime
  • Secure SMTP for email sending, with optional authentication
