pcAnywhere. Having it installed does not pose a security risk; it must be up and
running, and be configured to receive calls, before a remote user can enter the
system. In addition, pcAnywhere offers a number of security features.
Follow these guidelines to protect PCs with pcAnywhere installed:
1
Unplug the modem from the phone jack when pcAnywhere is not in use.
2
Only run pcAnywhere when necessary.
3
Do NOT publish the phone number for the modem that people use to access the
computer.
4
Change your password after Avaya personnel leave your site and after Avaya
personnel terminate a remote service session.
5
Configure the following pcAnywhere security options:
a
Require login names for callers.
b
Make passwords case sensitive.
c
Log all failed connection attempts.
d
Set a maximum number of login attempts per call.
e
Allow time to enter the complete login.
f
Disconnect if inactive.
