At REACH Media Network, we are committed to ensuring your success, which extends to safeguarding your systems and data. While we implement robust security protocols, there are additional steps you can take further to enhance the security of your digital signage media players and displays.

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Ensure your media players are physically secure and not easily accessible to unauthorized personnel. It’s best to Place them in secure, locked locations to minimize the risk of tampering or theft.

NETWORK SECURITY

To protect your media players from unauthorized access:

  • Non-public network: Ensure media players are connected to a private, secure network.
  • Wired connection: Use a wired connection where possible for greater security and reliability.
  • Segmented network: Create a segmented network that is only accessible to users who require access to the players.
  • Public IP restrictions: Avoid assigning public IP addresses to media players to prevent exposure to external threats.

TV/DISPLAY SECURITY

  • Disable smart features: Turn off any “smart” features on your displays to limit vulnerabilities.
  • Limit HDMI input access: Restrict the ability to change the HDMI input on your screens.
  • Disable aircasting: Remove the capability to accept aircasting from unauthorized devices
