A+ Technology & Security follows the industry’s best practices in managing and responding to security vulnerabilities in our products in order to minimize customer exposure to cyber risks. There is no way to guarantee that products and services are free from flaws that can be exploited for malicious attacks. This is not specific to A+ Technology & Security, but rather a general condition for all network devices. What A+ Technology & Security can guarantee, is that we always make a concerted effort at every possible stage in order to ensure that the least risk possible is associated with your A+ Technology & Security devices and services.
A+ Technology & Security acknowledges that standardized network protocols and services may have weaknesses that may be exploited for attacks. While A+ Technology & Security cannot take responsibility for these services, we are dedicated to providing recommendations on how to reduce and eliminate risks relating to your A+ Technology & Security devices.
The latest applicable security patches are included in the latest software/firmware releases. A+ Technology & Security provides free software and firmware updates for products covered under our Software Upgrade Protection Program. These updates can be downloaded by visiting the documents download section of each product’s page on our website: www.aplustechnology.com.
A+ Technology & Security classifies the severity of a vulnerability as either critical or non-critical. The classification is based on the risk for users when products are deployed, hardened and used in a recommended way. Newly discovered vulnerabilities that A+ Technology & Security classifies as non-critical will be managed in the normal scheduled firmware release cycle.
Newly discovered vulnerabilities that A+ Technology & Security classifies as critical may result in an unscheduled service release for applicable and supported firmware. A security advisory will be published at www.aplustechnology.com/product-security including a case description, threat/risk analysis, recommendations and A+ Technology & Security’s plan to resolve the issue.
While A+ Technology & Security will work to limit risks associated with vulnerabilities, if you identify a security vulnerability associated with an A+ Technology & Security product or service, please report the problem immediately. Timely identification of security vulnerabilities is critical to eliminating potential threats.
End users, partners, vendors, industry groups and independent researchers who have identified a potential risk are encouraged to email product-security@aplustechnology.com.
