6 Conclusion
An SC Series SAN offers a variety of mechanisms for preventing unauthorized access to administrative
access points or to storage volumes.
The following actions are recommended to ensure the security of SC Series storage:
• Restrict physical access to the SAN hardware and to the DSM server.
• Ensure password complexity is consistent with the organizational security policy.
• Logically isolate and firewall the SAN and management networks.
• Ensure all host systems and applications on the SAN are kept up to date with firmware and software
updates, particularly web browsers used for administrative access.
• Ensure secondary services such as DNS and NTP are trustworthy.
• License the Secure Data feature and use SEDs to ensure that no data is lost in the event of a
physical security breach.
• Use a VPN to secure replication traffic.
• Change the default password of the iDRAC administrative account.
