Network cameras increase the security of the buildings being monitored. Thanks to intelligent analysis, they provide valuable information on business processes. At the same time, however, they may connect to the Internet and thereby create cybersecurity risks. A cloud-based video management platform helps to minimize the risks.
Video cameras that are part of the corporate network can be dangerous. Like many other Internet of Things hardware, it is an attractive target for hackers who use a digital camera as part of their distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on companies. In prominent cases, around a million video cameras or digital video recorders connected to the mains were misused for DDoS attacks . Hackers integrated video cameras into botnets – for example into the self-spreading Mirai botnet. Cyber attacks, however, threaten data protection if, for example, hackers hijack administration rights for cameras and can thus access the recorded video systems.
