1.3 Security recommendations

ClickShare updates

Barco keeps improving its devices. This means extending existing features, adding new ones and providing security patches. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to keep all ClickShare devices up to date with the latest available firmware. It is therefore strongly recommended to turn on automatic updates. For more information, see “Firmware update”.

To ensure an update of all Buttons, Barco strongly recommends to pair all Buttons with the updated Base Unit again. For more information, see “Pairing the Button(s)”.

XMS Cloud

Manage ClickShare devices through XMS Cloud management platform This secure cloud based remote management software allows for real-time status monitoring of all connected ClickShare devices. It enables easy and automated (scheduling of) software updates.

It also allows for the remote management of configurations, creation of templates, remote wallpaper installation, user management, insights to drive the digital workplace and more. For more information, see the XMS Cloud user guide.

Keep ClickShare devices secured

Ensure that the ClickShare devices cannot be removed or replaced by securing the device appropriately. Barco recommends the use of the included Kensington lock feature.

Change the default passwords

Default passwords are public knowledge. Barco strongly recommends to always change the default password to prevent unwanted access to the ClickShare devices.

Network deployment requirements

Certain ports and communication protocols must be opened on or allowed through the enterprise firewall. These ports are required for ClickShare to communicate and function efficiently. For a more information, see https://www.barco.com/en/support/docs/TDE10396.
