The computer systems of iba AG are equipped with the current IoT Enterprise Edition of Microsoft Windows and are provided with the latest Windows updates before delivery. They are also checked by means of multiple test procedures. These tests have a minimum duration of 24 h and ensure the correct functioning of the computer system.

Only the software necessary for operation is installed on the computer systems; this consists of the base-system (Windows) and the software specified in the order.

Additional software of the kind pre-installed on some commercial PC systems from large manufacturers is not installed on computer systems ordered from iba AG, since these programs may negatively impact the systems' performance in industrial environments.

No further security measures are included in the default configuration. This means that the USB ports as well as any removable media are not blocked.

The network is protected solely by means of the firewall built into Windows. This initially ensures that the system is immediately operable in any customer networks. However, it is usually necessary for the customer to configure certain settings to increase security.
