Netcontent User Manual

Security and Installation

For production environments, Netcontent follows best security practices, including OWASP, WASC, and NIST standards, along with the ‘Pentest’ or ‘Intrusion Test’. The Netcontent platform has been designed to ensure the security of confidential and/or private data:

• Process management and alerting services are hosted on the client’s premises, with no communication to external servers.
• All data is stored in Netcontent's internal repository and is not transmitted or exported outside the server, either automatically or manually.
• All confidential and private textual data is deleted ("masked") during the loading event.
• The Netcontent API can only be used with a security token. All methods expect to receive a token provided by the platform to validate the authenticity of the consumer.
• The Netcontent platform does not have direct access to the client’s environment, servers, or data. IT administrators maintain exclusive control of user access.

Firewall and Port Configuration

Netcontent's port configuration and network protocols can be adjusted to support all common firewall requirements. The default port configuration is as follows:

• Netcontent Web Portal: Used for user access to Netcontent: 80 or custom in IIS.
• Web API Server: Between the web portal and data access: 2092 or custom in IIS.
• Process Designer: Used for creating capture, business, and control rule processes: 2094 or custom in IIS.
• File Editing Service: 2095 or custom in Apache Tomcat.

Configuration for SMTPm TLS/SSL Communication

Netcontent uses internal and external communication mechanisms, for which security ports must be configured on an SMTP server.

In the alert server configuration, you need to set the following keys: <add key="SMTPPort" value="587"> <add key="SMTPEnableSSL" value="true">

Minimum and Initial Hardware Configuration Required

Note: It is recommended to install on a CLOUD environment. However, using a physical or dedicated virtual server is possible. The virtual machine must: (1) meet the specifications listed above; and (2) be dedicated (i.e., not share the CPU). FCE must be on the same CPU as the WebAPI and the Netcontent capture service.

Tools Used

The Netcontent platform is built using Angular 5.2.9 with Material Design patterns. Angular (commonly referred to as "Angular 2+" or "Angular 2") is an open-source web application framework for TypeScript, maintained by Google, and used to create and manage single-page web applications.

Its goal is to enhance browser-based applications with Model-View-Controller (MVC) capabilities, making development and testing simpler.
