The Evolution of Perimeter Security and the Cyber Challenge
In the digital era, perimeter security has significantly advanced thanks to the development of video analytics solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI). However, this progress has also increased the vulnerability of video surveillance systems, making them frequent targets for cybercriminals.
Protecting against digital threats is a key aspect of any video surveillance system’s security. A recent report by Hanwha Vision Europe reveals a concerning disconnect between users’ confidence in their system’s security and the lack of adequate protective measures. At DAVANTIS, we work tirelessly to anticipate potential attacks, developing robust solutions that strengthen our clients’ digital security.
The Importance of Authenticated Access in Video Surveillance
Authenticated access is a fundamental pillar in protecting perimeter video analytics systems. It ensures that only authorized users can access the platform, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and cyberattacks. This is achieved through mechanisms such as strong passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), or digital certificates, verifying identity before allowing any system interaction.
Without proper authentication, systems are exposed to threats such as image manipulation, data theft, or even the disabling of critical functions. The increasing interconnection of devices has heightened these risks, making the implementation of advanced cybersecurity measures essential.
DFUSION: Enhanced Security with Advanced Authentication
At DAVANTIS, we integrate cutting-edge cybersecurity into our perimeter video analytics solutions. DFUSION incorporates advanced authentication protocols, ensuring that only authorized operators and users can view, manage, or configure system parameters.
Additionally, DFUSION implements measures such as:
- Data encryption to protect transmitted and stored information.
- Regular updates to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
- Compatibility with alarm management systems (CRA, VMS, and PSIM) for a fast and secure response to threats.
Thanks to these measures, our clients can operate with peace of mind, knowing that their perimeter security infrastructure is protected against both physical and digital intrusions.
Cyberattacks in Video Surveillance: A Growing Threat
Video surveillance systems have become a primary target for cyberattacks. According to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), more than 11,000 incidents were recorded in 2024, representing a 78% increase compared to 2022. These attacks can compromise privacy, facilitate espionage, and enable criminal activities.
Recent examples of vulnerabilities include:
- Mirai Case (2016): Massive attacks on IoT cameras.
- Amazon Ring Case (2019): Hacking of home security cameras.
- Tesla Case (2022): Unauthorized access to security cameras.
- Washington D.C. Case (2017): Hijacking of traffic cameras before a presidential inauguration.
These incidents highlight the importance of implementing authenticated access, data encryption, and regular security updates in any video surveillance solution.
