Latin America. Hanwha Techwin reported that the incorporation, in its new chipset, Wisenet7, of improved protocols of protection, encryption and locking of backdoors, which allows it to keep in force the permits and approvals of the US government to its video surveillance products.
According to Juan Mario Posada, Cybersecurity Advisory Leader at EY Colombia, organizations are increasingly investing in emerging technologies as part of their digital transformation programs, and while they have created new business possibilities, new vulnerabilities and threats are also being generated (Revista Dinero, 2019).
According to the latest report by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Brazil was the second country that suffered the most economic losses in 2018 due to cyberattacks. That year, the losses of Brazilian companies associated with this area exceeded 20,000 million dollars and affected, directly or indirectly, more than 70 million people, a third of the national population.
Wisenet7
Devices with Wisenet7 use the proprietary certificate issuance system that incorporates unique certificates into each product during the manufacturing process. Hanwha Techwin's cybersecurity policies include secure boot, secure operating system, secure storage and its secure open platform, which ensure the cybersecurity of products every step of the way.
Hanwha Techwin has its own cybersecurity breach response team (S-CERT) to prevent illegal or unauthorized security breaches from external sources and to prevent internal security flaws.
In order to improve the quality of product safety, S-CERT analyzes product safety at the development stage and periodically conducts penetration testing by specialized agencies. If a security problem is found, the S-CERT team analyzes it to give an answer in the shortest possible time.
In addition to this, S-CERT is committed to developing and finding cybersecurity solutions, making Hanwha Techwin an industry pioneer in cyber protection processes. In addition, it strives to achieve different certifications to be internationally recognized for the quality of its safety tests and analyses.
Current ONVIF Protocols
Hanwha cameras are supported by the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) interface, an industry standardization protocol that provides a generic way for Genetec's business partners to integrate into their advanced security solutions.
Industry network standards are 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.
