Security patches |
There is an increased risk that an unauthorized user might gain access to the application server if vendor security patches and upgrades are not applied in a timely fashion. Note: Ensure that you test security patches before applying them to production servers. You must create policies and procedures to regularly check for and install patches. |
Virus protection software |
Virus scanners can identify infected files by scanning for a signature or unusual behavior. Scanners keep their virus signatures in a file, which is usually stored on the local hard drive. New viruses are discovered often, so you must ensure that this file is regularly updated. This way, virus scanners can always identify all current viruses. |
Network Time Protocol (NTP) |
For proper operation and forensic analysis, keep accurate time on Primetime DRM servers and packagers. Use a secure version of NTP to synchronize the Primetime DRM time on all systems that are connected to the Internet. |
