Version V1.62

Hardware and Operating System (OS)

Cynap Core PRO uses a Linux operating system. The distribution is a WolfVision specific variant, which in addition to the Linux kernel contains only the individual libraries and packages required for the functionality of Cynap Core PRO. This kind of operating system is efficient, secure and lean. The operating system, includes all updates, is installed as a read-only partition that cannot be changed after the installation process. This feature and the strict separation of system and user data, such as pictures, videos etc. ensures a very high level of system security. The system structure is protected against any external access, and it does not require additional security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc.). The Cynap Core PRO system includes all viewer and software packages, and no additional licenses are required.

BYOD Security

Encrypt your network to protect the transmitted data. The transmitted information is as secure as your network.

Login Security

Accessing Cynap Core PRO can be protected by authentication (admin, moderator, PIN or LDAP user).

To prevent unauthorized access to the settings, the credentials needs to be entered whenever you start a new session or when logged out previously.

Network Security

Accessing Cynap Core PRO can be limited to secure connections only (HTTPS). Please note, the accessing application needs to support SSL/TLS (e.g. the most modern browsers are supporting HTML5 and SSL/TLS).

HTTP and HTTPS request can be routed through a proxy server.

WolfVision support access can be prohibited by disabling SSH.

LAN Security

When using a wired network, use authentication (IEEE 802.1X standard) to maximize security.

When using certificates, load by using the Web Interface.

WLAN (Wi-Fi) Security

When using a wireless network, use encryption to maximize security.

Cynap Core PRO complies with following standards:

Hint

WEP allows passwords with a length of 13 characters (128 bit).
WPA2 allows passwords with a length of 8 ~ 63 characters.
Use special characters carefully, not every third party device can handle them.

When using WPA2 Enterprise, load the certificate by using the Web Interface.

Security Settings

To prevent unauthorized changes to the settings via the front display, the support of USB storage devices can be disabled.

The built-in data storage can be encrypted and loading un-signed firmware files are blocked by default. (The data storage of earlier units can be encrypted manually in the Settings.)

Open Mode / Protected mode (Mirroring)

When using Cynap Core PRO, it is possible to choose between either Open Mode or Protected Mode. The desired mode can be selected using Cynap Core PRO Mirror Settings.

Cynap Core PRO offers different options to maximize security.

In Open Mode, other devices (e.g. vSolution Cast) can connect to Cynap without the need of any further action.

In Protected Mode, use the source button MIRROR to allow devices to connect (or allow it remotely via room management system).
