Securing Surveillance Technologies Is a Critical Concern
Spurred by high-profile data breaches, companies are taking steps to protect their products, and the customers who rely on them, from hackers and others.
As evidenced by the steady stream of news about data breaches coming from companies large and small, cyber crime has become a very real problem in the world today. Given the convergence of video surveillance technologies with other security and non-security solutions, securing the products that make up these systems has become a priority for manufacturers, integrators and end users.
“With video security, the convergence of video and data such as analytics and biometrics makes it an even more attractive target for criminals. Therefore, the need to effectively detect and prevent cyber crime is even more pressing,” says James Hoang, partnering and integration manager, Speco Technologies, Amityville, N.Y.
