Security Best Practices
Password Policy
Implement strong password policies requiring minimum 12 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters. Enforce regular password changes every 90 days.
Access Control
Create separate accounts for different administrators based on their responsibilities. Use the principle of least privilege - grant only necessary permissions.
Network Security
Place IP Office systems behind firewalls, restrict access to management interfaces via IP whitelisting, and use VPNs for remote administration.
Encryption
Enable SSL/TLS encryption for all management interfaces, use secure protocols (SSH instead of Telnet), and implement certificate-based authentication.
Audit Logging
Enable comprehensive audit logging for all administrative actions, regularly review logs, and implement SIEM integration for security monitoring.
Regular Updates
Keep IP Office Manager software and system firmware updated with the latest security patches. Subscribe to Avaya security advisories.
