It is common for project managers in CCTV and access control to focus on the physical security of monitoring and access control locations.
To this end, much research is conducted on which solution is ideal for the project and which products can ensure that assets are protected against any physical risk. However, there are other factors that impact CCTV projects that can affect security, one of the main ones being the integrity of the captured and available data.
In this article, we will show some important security layers in Axis products that can be the necessary differentiator within a CCTV project.
Cybersecurity
The increasing number of digital crimes reinforces the importance of cybersecurity to mitigate risks. Cybersecurity involves methods and techniques aimed at hardware and software to create layers of security and prevent unauthorized access to data. These techniques are necessary for network devices as they seek to ensure the reliability of the equipment, so that the products are also constantly updated.
Axis Communications, a manufacturer of CCTV products, develops its network solutions using various layers of security to protect the data acquired by its equipment.
The Axis Device Manager is a management tool for Axis equipment, where it is possible to configure all necessary security controls for a project. For example, configuring passwords, updates, and defining the security level for each type of device.
Vulnerability
Axis has a rapid response policy for vulnerabilities in its equipment, which can be reviewed at this link. This policy begins in the development process of a new product, where the manufacturer uses code review methodologies and vulnerability testing compatible with global development standards.
Additionally, Axis has a collaborative development policy allowing its partners to work together on solutions to mitigate security risks. This way, it is also possible to quickly detect future vulnerabilities and threats that may arise and improve security processes effectively and swiftly.
Finally, Axis offers a quick vulnerability test to help its clients and partners identify and define their potential risks.
