How secure is your network?

Protect Against Cyber Attacks with SMARTtechnology passwords, many IP cameras, DVRs, and NVRs have to combat the malicious code needed to connect the device to a botnet.

Once a surveillance device has been infected, it becomes a tool used to take down target servers.

After the latest wave of high-profile cyber attacks, updating default passwords on connected devices has taken first priority when securing a system. Security integrators and manufacturers are quickly adapting to the ever-changing cyber landscape, though.

Proactive protection against cyber attacks is being implemented on many new, highperformance video servers.

BCDVIDEO SMARTTECHNOLOGY In recent months, there has been a multitude of cyber attacks targeting video surveillance systems and the Internet of Things (IoT). In the aftermath of the Mirai botnet attack, an incredibly powerful DDoS attack, some of the largest surveillance manufacturers scrambled to address the extreme vulnerabilities built into their devices.

The expansion of the IoT has only compounded the problem by providing hackers with almost unlimited resources for carrying out their attacks. As more devices connect to a single network, the total system security is only as strong as the most vulnerable connected device. So, how can security professionals protect their system against these attacks?
