Hello AMMRL,

It would be greatly appreciated if you could share how your institute /
company / university manages the cyber security of computers on your
instruments (do not have to be NMR spectrometers).


   - When you purchase the instruments, do you use the instrument vendor's
   PC or computers from your IT department?
   - Are your instrument computers on your institution's intranet, do they
   have access to the internet (if yes, with what restrictions)? Or do you
   have a "special network" for instrument computers?
   - Who is responsible for security policies, OS updates and security
   scans, and who has the admin right to those PCs - you (i.e.
   instrument managers) or your IT department?
   - What are your system and data backup policies and procedures?
   - Do you have other procedures and practices for regulatory compliance
   (FDA, EPA, etc)?

Any other info / practices related to cyber security for instrument
computers in R&D labs or manufacturing facilities will be helpful as well.

If you wish to remain "anonymous", please send your response to me directly
(donghui_wu _at_ COLPAL dot COM). I will summarize and report back without
names.

Thank you!
Donghui
