How can XProtect VMS be configured to run in FIPS 140-2 compliant mode?

In order to run XProtect VMS in a FIPS 140-2 mode of operation you must:

• Run Windows operating system in FIPS 140-2 approved mode of operation. See the Microsoft site for information on enabling FIPS.
• Ensure standalone third-party integrations can run on a FIPS enabled Windows operating system
• Connect to devices in a way that ensures a FIPS 140-2 compliant mode of operation

  This is done by running the media database upgrade tool. For detailed information on how to configure your XProtect VMS to run in FIPS 140-2 compliant mode, see the FIPS 140-2 compliance section in the hardening guide.
