Network and firewall policies

The following protection policies are recommended:

• Where possible, the K2 system should be run in a closed and protected environment without network access to the corporate IS environment or the outside world.
• If the K2 system must operate in a larger network, Grass Valley recommends that access be through a gateway or firewall to provide anti-virus protection. The firewall should allow incoming HTTP (TCP port 80) connections for client and configuration connections to the K2 system inside the private network.
• Access to the K2 system should be controlled in order to limit the likelihood of malicious or unintended introduction of viruses.
