Protecting people and property is as important as ever, and devices like IP cameras and other sensors have put powerful new capabilities in the hands of security teams. But the connected nature of these devices has brought new challenges to bear on security teams, and preventing them from being compromised or even commandeered by cybercriminals has become an essential part of keeping people and property safe.
Understanding the Threat
The idea that physical security devices can be hacked is hardly new. The high-profile Ring hack in 2019 resulted in the compromise of doorbells and home security cameras across four states, underscoring the fact that even companies like Amazon, with seemingly infinite resources, are not immune to this type of vulnerability.
