Management Hardening

Management hardening is a task that allows for detection of some security issues related to device management.

Interface components

Use this panel to scan all or the selected devices in the project for known management hardening issues. These include the use of:

• HTTP for the web service
• SNMPv2 write community
• The default admin password
• IPConfig
• Telnet

When Scan is clicked, each device in the project will be interrogated for any of these issues. When the scan is finished, WeConfig will list all devices and their found issues.

WeConfig will by default suggest removing all issues. If the default admin password has been used on any device, it will not be possible to apply the fixes until the password has been changed.

If any of the known issues are ignored, it is necessary to be explicit and uncheck the issue. This can be done easily from the Autofill section.
