3. Reference
   The following countermeasures are effective for vulnerabilities of the remote desktop service in the network environment of customers.
   
    (a) Disallowance for the use of Remote Desktop Services
   If it is possible to allow or disallow the use of remote desktop services in the Windows settings, disallow it.
   
   (b) Communication route control
   In the network to which our products are connected, set the network device so as to prohibit communication from computers other than those that allow access to them.
   
    (c) Control of communication protocol and communication port
   Since the attack on the remote desktop service uses the following communication protocols and communication ports, the network device is set so as not to allow the communication.
