MC and IX Networks are isolated; 2. MC and IX Router/Firewalls block incoming traffic, as applicable; 3. Restricted physical access to Central Stations, Telemetry Servers, MC network and IX network; 4. Default passwords are changed as applicable; and 5. Password management best practices are adhered to Ensuring the networks are properly configured and isolated protects against these potential concerns and mitigates the risk.
