Prevent Vulnerabilities with a Secure System Infrastructure
Video surveillance plays a key role in protecting people and property, but what provisions are in place to protect your system from cyberthreats?
Physical and data security breaches are some of the top threats that organizations face. A web search for “security camera hacked” turns up 16.6 million results. To protect your system from vulnerabilities, having a thoughtfully designed security infrastructure is ground zero.
Some common risks and vulnerabilities seen in video surveillance systems include:
- Outdated software and firmware
- Insecure video storage
- Insecure video transmission
- Inbound device access and open ports
- Lack of proactive downtime alerts
- Single point of failure; no data redundancy
- Unsafe remote access
Taking adequate measures to protect against emerging threats begins with the system architecture - starting from hardware, network, cloud, and application security. Learn more about what infrastructure can be put in place to enhance the security of an overall system.

Our guide to IP/IK ratings explains how these standards define the vandal and weather resistance of cameras, helping you make the right choice for robust surveillance solutions.Learn MoreNext Generation Security
A network administrator has to consider not only the way traffic is routed across the estate, but also if any changes impact the overall security posture. SSE technologies can help when it comes to the risks posed by local Internet breakout, in an easy and scalable way.Learn MoreSecuring Camera Access Ports
As a part of your security strategy, you should consider the risks associated with exposed access ports, and how you should secure them.Learn MoreCalculating your Power over Ethernet (PoE) Budget
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an electrical technology used to transmit both power and data over a single ethernet cable. Different classifications of PoE are used depending on how much power a powered device requires.Learn MoreWhat is ONVIF?
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is an organization composed of multiple physical security manufacturers, to produce standards for interoperability between IP security systems and devices. When a security device is ONVIF-enabled, it means it shares the standardized ONVIF specifications that allow it to communicate with other ONVIF devices. _**By Dimi Sandu, Head of Solutions Engineering (EMEA)**_Learn MoreProtecting Your Security Cameras from Vandalism: System Design & Optimization
When designing a surveillance system, a lot of thought goes into optimizing the protection of your property. But you also want to consider how you are protecting the cameras themselves and understand ways to prevent vandalism in your security system.Learn MoreSystem and Organization Controls (SOC) Reports
