What is one of the five security recommendations for deploying FortiAnalyzer?

Using secured passwords is a critical security recommendation for deploying FortiAnalyzer. This practice helps protect sensitive data and system configurations from unauthorized access. Strong passwords enhance the security posture by making it significantly more difficult for attackers to gain entry into the system. It is essential to use complex passwords that incorporate a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters, and to change them regularly to prevent potential breaches.

In contrast to this recommendation, deploying FortiAnalyzer in a public network or allowing all IP addresses for access can expose it to a higher risk of attacks, as these practices increase the attack surface. Storing passwords in an accessible location further undermines security, making it easier for compromised passwords to be exploited. Therefore, using secured passwords is foundational to ensuring that access to FortiAnalyzer is managed properly and that the system remains secure from external threats.
