Question
What are the CyberSecurity tips for myQA Accept?
Answer
- The myQA Accept software connects to the clinical IT network for following purposes:
- Required connectivity between centralized services / databases and the clients.
- Connect to measurement devices (such as CCU, LDA-99 SC, etc.) for measurements.
- The format of any data received is verified during import (upon opening the data file from myQA Accept). A possible virus signature would be found by a virus scanner.
- myQA Accept captures error conditions and relevant modification of data in logfiles. The user should check those logfiles regularly for any anomalies.
- Regarding the IP configuration, a default IP address is always pre-set for each device.
- This address is read out and displayed when connecting to the device from the myQA Accept software, providing the subnet mask 255.255.0.0. is used.
- The IP addresses of the devices can be individually configured by the user (more explanation is given in the corresponding section of the user manual).
