Surveillance camera security is an area where a device installer partner can provide inhouse IT with key help, says Edwin Beerentemfel at Axis Communications.
SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS BASED ON INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) ARE DESIGNED to withstand cyber- attacks, but need to be confi gured by installers for optimal resilience – especially as such systems tend to be deployed on a standalone network. IP
cameras must also be patched regularly
to prevent hackers and threats from exploiting vulnerabilities. While this is an essential procedure often mandated under security policies, the reality is that many organisations fail to do it. This makes it imperative that such devices fall
properly within the scope of an organisation’s information security policy. Many equipment vendors provide a ‘hardening guide’ for installers, but these are intended mainly as a starting point for confi guration. The installer’s bigger job is to match what’s contained in that guide with a customer organisation’s information security policies. This often involves time-consuming manual confi guration. Axis Communications developed technology that
streamlines the process while ensuring that devices and systems meet or exceed end-users’ needs. The solution allows installers to confi gure multiple devices simultaneously, reducing installation time and cost.

Establishing ‘trust’ between devices is something
customarily accomplished using X.509 encryption standard certifi cates. These provide secure communication between networked devices and services, and are deployed using LDAP. Active Directory is Microsoft’s implementation of LDAP that covers a range of directory-based, identity-related services to authenticate and authorise users within a network. This is another area where Axis’s device management software helps: it acts as an intermediary for Active Directory, to integrate third-party LDAP clients into the LDS via proxy authentication.
