Security Considerations

To keep your instrument secure, Illumina recommends reviewing Illumina Security Best Practices at Illumina Security and Networking.

The following security considerations and recommendations support the secure deployment of the VeriSeq NIPT Solution v2 – RUO in a laboratory. Review this content with your laboratory IT and security specialists.

The VeriSeq NIPT Onsite Server v2 – RUO and the VeriSeq NIPT Microlab STAR control computer communicate using unencrypted messages over HTTP. To promote the security of the server, the Onsite Server does not permit external login to its operating system except from authorized Illumina service personnel. Supplement this design with the following security recommendations:

•

A secure LAN configured with a firewall ensuring that the server is not visible externally and restricting the visibility of HTTP communication.

•

Limited physical access to the server to prevent the removal of the RAID controller, disk drives, and access to data.
