Does BLACKbox have an inbuilt antivirus and firewall software to protect its data from viruses or network attacks?

No. BLACKbox does not have an inbuilt antivirus. It is highly recommended to install the latest updated licensed antivirus on each system.

Antivirus prevents ransomware from entering the network. BLACKbox offers data recovery in case ransomware impacts the data. It does not prevent ransomware attacks.

What level of penetration testing does BLACKbox withstand?

BLACKbox does not have to withstand any penetration testing as it works on the blockchain model.

Once the policies are configured, those configuration settings are replicated by the BLACKbox agent on the client system. Post this, the system has to connect to the BLACKbox only to check if there is any change in the policy. So, after the policy is configured, if the policy server of BLACKbox is down, the policies will still prevail on the system as the endpoint saves the policy data instead of depending on the server.

What steps should be taken before installing the BLACKbox endpoint agent on the user's computer?

The following steps should be taken before the installation of the BLACKbox endpoint agent on the user’s computer:

  1. Ensure that the user’s system is in the Local Area Network(LAN).
  2. Login with a built-in administrator profile.
  3. Disable Windows or licensed antivirus firewall temporarily.
  4. Set the user access control (UAC) to ‘Never Notify’ in the Control l Panel.
  5. Install the required version of JAVA (32/64 bit) on the user’s computer according to the Windows OS.

What is the power backup system in BLACKbox in case of a power failure?

BLACKbox comes with UPS to provide power backup. We would like to clarify that the UPS supplied with BLACKbox is not meant to provide power backup to BLACKbox. It is to provide a power backup to safely shut down the BLACKbox to avoid any adverse effect of power failure on the media storage of the BLACKbox. This UPS is specially configured to perform this particular task and is not meant to provide power backup to BLACKbox.
