International. Hanwha Techwin announced the reinforcement of its commitments to cybersecurity and data protection in its products, with the incorporation of improved protection, encryption and backdoor locking protocols for its new chipset, Wisenet7, which allows it to keep the permissions and approvals of the US government to its video surveillance products in force.
According to the Internet Security Report for the first quarter of 2020 conducted by WatchGuard Technologies, 67% of the malware produced in these first six months passed through the HTTP protocol. This makes two-thirds of incoming threats go unnoticed by organizations without security solutions with the ability to inspect encrypted traffic.
Kaspersky had already forecast ransomware attacks on municipal governments and critical entities for this year in Latin America, particularly those with the potential for a greater impact on their reputation.
"Acting sooner rather than later to mitigate risks has never been more crucial. Its physical security system is as secure as the weakest point or the least reliable device connected to it," says the director of Presales and Engineering for Latin America of Hanwha Tecwhin, Omar Lugones, who highlights the security of the company's products, among others thanks to the Wisenet 7 chipset.
The Wisenet7
Devices with Wisenet7 use the proprietary certificate issuance system that incorporates unique standards into each product during the manufacturing process. Hanwha Techwin's cybersecurity policies include secure boot security, as well as operating system, storage, and open platform security. This ensures the cybersecurity of the products every step of the way.
Thanks to the alliance with Genetec, Hanwha Techwin provides different forms of protection of its physical security systems:
Encryption: In order to hide and protect data from unauthorized users, encrypted communication between Hanwha Techwin and Genetec devices ensures that no malicious code is introduced into the firmware, keeping your devices up to date and secure.
Authorization: Hanwha Techwin cameras use a strong strong password definition that allows administrators to specify rights and privileges for security center users.
Authentication: Determine if an entity is who it claims to be and verify if and how it should access your system. Digest authentication is used within the secure channel for additional security of Hanwha Techwin cameras.
Privacy: Ensure the privacy of the video and protect the identity of anyone captured in it.
Current ONVIF Protocols
Hanwha's Wisenet cameras feature existing interface support from the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF), an industry standardization protocol that is implemented to accelerate integration into security applications and enable interoperability between systems no matter who the manufacturer is.
Installers will be able to select the best of the best solutions for specific applications, ensure that the application can find the device and communicate with it over the network.
