Eagle Eye Networks does not use Cloudflare – a website performance enhancement service.
There was a relatively severe security issue detected by Tavis Ormandy at Project Zero in the Cloudflare service. He found that certain private information could be extracted under some rare circumstances. It’s a severe security issue, but it’s been fixed.
It’s particularly interesting because once the vulnerability was known, Cloudflare was able to completely fix it in 7 hours and 47 minutes. That’s a great response time and is indicative of what you get with a professional cloud service.
In order to deliver that kind of service, companies need a full in-house engineering team, a top-notch operations team, and a full in-house security team. You are not going to get this level of response when outsourcing or using a service that is not fully staffed and professional. Too many operators in the physical security business operate using an outsourced model or lightly staffed security.
Eagle Eye has a full level of professional all in-house staff, and we work hard on our cybersecurity.
