INTRODUCTION
CYBERSECURITY
access and observation by unauthorized personnel. Thus, access and espionage by
unauthorized persons is prevented.
1.7.8 EXTERNAL MEDIA AND DEVICES
Working with the computer of the KleeYa System can lead to voluntary or
involuntary introduction of malicious software, like viruses, worms, spywares.
Malwares are designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the
owner's informed consent. As a result software and data loss, corruption or
unauthorized distribution might occur.
The introduction of such malicious software might occur via the network or via a
local USB device.
Modification of the KleeYa System, e.g. the installation or enabling of third-party
software including software patching, should always be under explicit guidance of
STRATEC. It is important to understand that any invalidated modification of the
KleeYa System (e.g. product firewall changes, software patches, security software,
utilities, games, music files, other software programs, etc.) can adversely affect
system performance or safety in unpredictable ways.
In order to avoid such issues, the user has access to the KleeYa main software and a
kiosk mode with highly reduced functionality, only. In general, the system is
hardened and uses a whitelisting program to prevent access by unauthorized third
party software or malware. Within the kiosk mode, the user will be able to use
additional software tools provided with the KleeYa System like a program to update
or downgrade the firmware supplied together with the reagent racks.
Additional functionalities as defined below will be available for network
administrator.
1.7.8.1 CONNECTION TO A LOCAL AND/OR NETWORK
PRINTER
The KleeYa System can either be connected to a local printer or to a network printer
leading to the following risks:
1. Local printer: If the KleeYa System shall be connected to a local printer, the
installation of printer drivers might be required. Each installation of a printer
driver can theoretically affect the performance of the system negatively.
2. Network printer: If a network printer shall be used on the KleeYa System, the
installation of printer drivers not being available on the KleeYa System might
be required. Each installation of a printer driver can theoretically affect the
performance of the system negatively.
No printer is validated by STRATEC on the KleeYa System against the intended use.
STRATEC does not take any responsibility in regards to risks arising out of the
installation of a printer driver.
For the installation of printer drivers STRATEC recommends relying on the Operating
System printing service and to privilege printer drivers from the Operating System.
The installation of printer drivers shall only be performed by network administrators
with deep understanding of potential security risks and not by end-users. Therefore,
a dedicated access profile will be provided by STRATEC.
