Following a pandemic-exacerbated rise in data breaches and ransomware attacks, security leaders must consider employing methods to reduce the often-overlooked cyber vulnerabilities of physical security systems.
Internet Protocol (IP) security cameras and other security devices present a path into the network for cybercriminals. If they are not properly shielded, they can pose significant risk to cybersecurity. An attack that originates in a camera or door controller can find its way through the network to block access to critical applications, lock files for ransom, or steal personal data.
