Executive Overview:

Eliminate weak credentials across your network. Implement mandatory Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and session timeout standards.

The Danger of Default Passwords

Unsecured network switches running default credentials like admin/admin expose core infrastructure to unauthorized takeovers and destructive configuration wipes.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Architecture

Billing clerks should only collect payments, linemen should only update assigned tickets, and network engineers should be quarantined behind audit logs.

fiberNox Multi-Factor Security Architecture

fiberNox secures management logins with Google Authenticator (2FA) and over 50 granular role permissions, preventing privilege escalation completely.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Should field linemen have administrative access to core routers?+
Never. Field staff should operate solely through isolated mobile panels, with core router access restricted strictly to authorized network engineers.
