CYBERSENTRY
The CyberSentry Embedded Security feature is a software option that provides advanced
security services. When the software option is purchased, the Basic Security is
automatically disabled.
CyberSentry provides security through the following features:
• An Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) Remote Authentication Dial-In
User Service (RADIUS) client that is centrally managed, enables user attribution, and
uses secure standards based strong cryptography for authentication and credential
protection.
• A Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that provides a permission model that
allows access to 889 device operations and configurations based on specific roles
and individual user accounts configured on the AAA server. At present the defined
roles are: Administrator, Operator and Observer.
• Strong encryption of all access and configuration network messages between the
EnerVista software and 889 devices using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and 128-bit keys in Galois Counter Mode (GCM)
as specified in the U.S. National Security Agency Suite B extension for SSH and
approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-140-2
standards for cryptographic systems.
