Mitigatiesamenvatting

ABB recommends using Freelance Extended User Management instead of Security Lock. Freelance Extended User Management is based on Windows user accounts and is available for Freelance 2019 or higher. For Freelance 2016 and earlier, please refer to chapter “General Security Information”. A fix for Freelance Security Lock is in preparation and will be announced in this updated document. Refer to section “General security recommendations” for further advise on how to keep your system secure. To reduce the likelihood of exploitation via keyboard shortcuts: - disable unnecessary accessibility features - use hardened OS configurations that suppress system-level shortcuts - implement BIOS/UEFI-level restrictions on keyboard input during runtime.
