Security Best Practices

This page presents actions that a migVisor customer should take to protect their data.

migVisor Metadata Collector

By default, the encryption is performed with a default key.
User can choose to encrypt their metadata at the end of the scan.
Use your own keys to encrypt your metadata. To use personal key, generate it in the migVisor Web Console:
- User Settings > Encryption control > Generate a key.
- Download as file.
- Copy it to the mMC folder.
- Restart the Collector.
Whenever possible, always send scanned metadata directly to migVisor servers by selecting this option on the Collector wizard page - it is always less secure to store it locally.
For offline machines, save the scanned metadata encrypted by selecting this option on the Collector wizard page - it is always less secure to store it unencrypted.

Password must be composed of capital letters, numbers, and special characters.
The password must be at least 8 characters long.
Do not overuse a password: Do not use a password that has already been used by another application or website.
Do not let your browser save your login credentials: If you have let your browser save your password and someone gets into your computer, they can get to your account easily.
Do not write down your password: do not write it on a sticky note or create a file that stores your passwords.
