Conference Room Systems

Networked hardware in meeting rooms is often forgotten and forms an ideal jumping-off point for attackers into the internal network.

Your Strategy

Isolate conference hardware in its own VLAN. Use dedicated service accounts with minimal privileges for room reservation and authentication.

Best Practices

  • Network: No access from conference hardware to internal server segments.
  • Identity: Use certificate-based authentication for hardware endpoints.
  • Physical: Disable unused USB ports and connectors on the devices.
