Hardening ProCurve Switches

Overview Security is a growing concern in nowadays Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. Upper level managers and IT managers alike are held to a higher accountability for the integrity and availability of their data. While host clients and servers often are the focus of security discussions, securing network devices such as switches and routers should not be ignored. All data traverses these devices, and properly securing them is paramount to a stable infrastructure. This paper is intended to inform managers and administrators about insecure management protocols that run on ProCurve switches.

VoIP: Don't forget about security
