When you first install ClearSCADA, the Security feature is enabled by default. The default values for the various security-related settings are intentionally set at a high level. Initially you use the Super User to access the server configuration features. This is so that an administrator can gain access to the many features that are needed during the setting up of a system.
To help protect your system against unauthorized users and also from accidental changes made by inexperienced users, you should configure the security settings to meet your own requirements.
While each system and organization is different, there are some common actions you can take to improve the security of your system:
- Check the Version of your ClearSCADA Software
- Use Secure Web Ports with a Trusted SSL Certificate
- Disable the Allow Logon and Database Writes over HTTP Setting
- Use Appropriate Windows User Accounts
- Use Server Side Security Features
- Use Server Side Permission Restrictions
- Use DMZ Servers instead of Permanent Standby Servers
- Organize your Users and User Groups
- Configure User Accounts Appropriately.
