Video Surveillance & Cyber Risk: More Devices, More Problems?
While sophisticated IP cameras are capable of doing more than ever, they can also be more vulnerable to hacking — and vendors, integrators, and customers must all be vigilant to keep things safe.
In today’s interconnected security industry, there are more cameras, IoT, and edge devices “talking” to each other than ever before. Modern IP cameras have powerful processing, networking, and storage capabilities that make them incredibly versatile, while cloud technology enables more data storage, and the internet connects them all.
But there’s a downside to all this progress: more devices, cloud usage, open source software components, and internet connection also means more exposure to cyber risk.
