HMS Networks Updates Ewon Cosy+ Firmware for New Cybersecurity Rules

<h1>HMS Networks Updates Ewon Cosy+ Firmware for New Cybersecurity Rules</h1> <p><strong>Chicago, IL</strong> – HMS Networks has introduced firmware version 23.0 for its Ewon Cosy+ remote access devices. This update, effective August 1, 2025, aligns the devices with the updated cybersecurity requirements mandated by the European Union's Radio Equipment Directive (RED).</p> <p>The new firmware brings several functional changes aimed at enhancing security. The FTP server is now disabled by default and accessible only through VPN and LAN interfaces, not the WAN. Similarly, the NTP server and USB over IP features are disabled by default and require manual activation for use. These adjustments are part of a broader security enhancement strategy.</p> <p>Additionally, the HTTP server is now restricted to VPN and LAN access, removing WAN accessibility. The SMTP client, used for sending email and SMS notifications, is now exclusively functional via the VPN interface utilizing the Talk2m mail relay. The device's dynamic DNS (DynDNS) feature has been discontinued.</p> <p>Version 23.0 also strengthens logging capabilities. The Ewon devices now record all successful and failed login attempts across various configuration interfaces, including web and FTP servers. Usage and configuration logs for privacy assets like email and SMS have also been expanded. HMS Networks emphasizes that proper installation, including securing physical access and restricting LAN connections, remains crucial for overall system integrity.</p>
