    - Install an SSL certificate
      You need to install a secure sockets layer (SSL) certificate to securely encrypt traffic between client computers and the Nozomi Networks Operating System (N2OS) sensor over hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS).
    - Install a CA certificate
      If an issuing certificate authority (CA) for the hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) certificate is not immediately trusted, you will need to install a certificate authority (CA) certificate to the Nozomi Networks Operating System (N2OS) sensor.
    - Enable SNMP
      To monitor the health of the Nozomi Networks Operating System (N2OS) sensor, you need to enable the simple network management protocol (SNMP) daemon.
    - Internal firewall configuration
      It is possible to configure the settings of an internal firewall to restrict access to specific items.
    - Configure an internal firewall
