Security guide

This security guide provides essential information and best practices for IT administrators, system integrators, and event technicians to ensure robust security measures are implemented effectively.

Professional audio systems, extensively deployed in environments such as broadcasting, live events, and corporate settings, are increasingly integrated into enterprise networks — making them susceptible to threats like unauthorized access, data interception, and signal interference. To ensure secure deployment and system integrity, Sennheiser enforces the highest security standards across all products, supported by robust protective measures and comprehensive management practices.

• Security Principles and System Design:

  Sennheiser embeds security from product development through regular risk assessments and secure configurations, following a “security by design” approach. Compliance with international standards ensures consistent protection and proactive threat mitigation.

• Communication Security and Encryption:

  Industry-standard encryption protocols like AES-256 and TLS protect audio and control data from interception and unauthorized access. Secure methods such as HTTPS and REST APIs are used for networked and third-party integrations.

• Authentication and Access Control:

  Role-based authentication and device claiming validate users and devices before granting access. b credentials and regular updates maintain system integrity and prevent unauthorized access.

• Network Configuration and Interfaces:

  Enable only essential ports, segment networks, and apply firewall rules for secure operation. Proper configuration of protocols like Dante®, mDNS, and Bluetooth® is critical for a robust network infrastructure.

This guide provides comprehensive measures to protect professional audio systems from threats through secure design, encryption, authentication, and best practices throughout the system lifecycle.
