UPDATED MEANS PROTECTED
Ensuring cyber security updates across large estates of networked devices is a challenge – device management software can help, says Axis’s Edwin Beerentemfel.
NETWORK ADMINISTRATORS ARE NOW UNDER SIGNIFICANT AND INCREASING PRESSURE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR networks are designed and operated securely. So it is important that they have the right knowledge and tools to manage cybersecurity throughout the life-cycle of the system. This article explains how cybersecurity best practices specifi c to managing their network devices, as well as how device management software, can be shown to empower administrators to effi ciently achieve their cybersecurity goals. The escalation in the number of network devices
drives the workload of network administrators. Often, this not only adds to already stretched work and time schedules, but can potentially result in compromised security. Recent Axis fi eld tests compared the time required to perform some basic device management tasks on a network of 200 cameras. These basic tasks – the installation of add-on applications (ACAPs), upgrading fi rmware, confi guring devices and hardening devices – took 106 hours to complete when manually using a camera web interface. However, the time required was reduced to just 30 minutes when using device management software.

Broadly speaking, businesses should approach
cybersecurity readiness in two steps. Awareness is the fi rst step. If your business is not aware of potential cyber vulnerabilities, threats and issues, it cannot do anything to prevent them. This requires enterprises to adopt a continuous learning and improvement mentality. It’s about continually educating yourself and embracing a good cybersecurity culture within your organization. In this context, suppliers need to

work according to clear vulnerability management policies, processes and best practices. Step two is mitigation: once aware of a potential
problem, what can your business do to resolve it? If we assume that a business cannot fi x something by itself, outside support and assistance are often required. A good starting point when selecting vendors and partners is to look at those that have a track record of cyber maturity.
