This white paper outlines five best practices for securing OpenText Core Endpoint Backup. First, keep backup agents updated across Windows and Mac to reduce vulnerabilities. Second, regularly update both the OS and backup vault, while carefully reviewing release notes to avoid unnecessary risks. Third, secure the SQL Server with unique credentials and restricted network access. Fourth, limit and monitor administrative access, removing unused accounts, enforcing least privilege, and integrating identity providers like Okta or Entra ID. Finally, harden the Windows server by disabling unnecessary services and ports, using only TLS 1.2 on port 443, and restricting or disabling RDP for stronger protection.
