As cloud software becomes more widely adopted across the professional security industry, questions around whether it is secure are mounting. Understandably, users may wonder whether cloud video surveillance is secure after the major security failure of a well-established cloud player.
The truth of the matter is that security systems remain high on hackers’ preferred gateways to users’ networks and data. Thus, it’s important to note that, just like other classifications of network-related service providers, not all cloud video surveillance companies are created equal when it comes to security. There are a multitude of factors affecting the security of cloud platforms, from their ownership model to the security protocols they take. And when cloud service providers get security right, cloud usage can be more secure than traditional security systems, both in terms of cybersecurity, video integrity and security operations overall.
