Version V1.62 |
Cynap Core uses a Linux operating system. The distribution is a WolfVision specific variant, which in addition to the Linux kernel contains only the individual libraries and packages required for the functionality of Cynap Core. This kind of operating system is efficient, secure and lean. The operating system, includes all updates, is installed as a read-only partition that cannot be changed after the installation process. This feature and the strict separation of system and user data, such as pictures, videos etc. ensures a very high level of system security. The system structure is protected against any external access, and it does not require additional security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc.). The Cynap Core system includes all viewer and software packages, and no additional licenses are required.
Encrypt your network to protect the transmitted data. The transmitted information is as secure as your network.
Accessing Cynap Core can be protected by authentication (admin, moderator, PIN or LDAP user).
To prevent unauthorized access to the settings, the credentials needs to be entered whenever you start a new session or when logged out previously.
Accessing Cynap Core can be limited to secure connections only (HTTPS). Please note, the accessing application needs to support SSL/TLS (e.g. the most modern browsers are supporting HTML5 and SSL/TLS).
HTTP and HTTPS request can be routed through a proxy server.
WolfVision support access can be prohibited by disabling SSH.
When using a wired network, use authentication (IEEE 802.1X standard) to maximize security.
When using certificates, load by using the Web Interface.
When using a wireless network, use encryption to maximize security.
Cynap Core complies with following standards:
WEP
WPA2
WPA2 Enterprise (IEEE 802.1X standard)
WEP allows passwords with a length of 13 characters (128 bit).
WPA2 allows passwords with a length of 8 ~ 63 characters.
Use special characters carefully, not every third party device can handle them.
When using WPA2 Enterprise, load the certificate by using the Web Interface.
To prevent unauthorized changes to the settings via the front display, the support of USB storage devices can be disabled.
The built-in data storage can be encrypted and loading un-signed firmware files are blocked by default. (The data storage of earlier units can be encrypted manually in the Settings.)
When using Cynap Core, it is possible to choose between either Open Mode or Protected Mode. The desired mode can be selected using Cynap Core Mirror Settings.
Cynap Core offers different options to maximize security.
In Open Mode, other devices (e.g. vSolution Cast) can connect to Cynap without the need of any further action.
In Protected Mode, use the source button MIRROR to allow devices to connect (or allow it remotely via room management system).
