Why do you no longer ship OP5 Monitor with an operating system?
This article provides some information related to the decision to stop distributing OP5 Monitor with an operating system.
Introduction Copied
A preventive decision was made to increase security and minimize the risk for both ITRS and our customers by not including the operating system itself in our downloads. With this change, we achieve a smaller attack surface and security is improved for our customers. We are committed to the security of our product although it unfortunately, in this case, comes at a price of inconvenience.
Who is affected Copied
OP5 Monitor customer who in the past has relied on the ISO/OVA images for their operation or evaluation are affected. Looking at the download statistics for OP5 Monitor we have seen that the tar-ball is much more popular compared to the ISO/OVA. This means that a majority of the customer base already prepare their own operating system installations.
A specific set of customers that may be affected are those that have offline installations of OP5 Monitor and has used the ISO/OVA in the past to not only update OP5 Monitor but also update the operating system. For guidance in this use case, please have a look at this article here.
