The “Electronic Insider Threat”: Managing Cyber Security Risks in Life Safety and Security Systems
Join Our Experts as They Detail Cyber Security Threats and Mitigation Measures for Life Safety Systems
Though they are designed to provide protection, IP-based security and life safety systems are, like any other connected devices, inherently vulnerable. From using default passwords, to employing brute force attacks, to spoofing wireless networks, hackers have accessed hundreds of home and commercial alarm, access control, video surveillance, and related systems. Some hackers have hijacked unpatched access control systems and commandeered them to commit Distributed Denial of Service attacks to crash company websites or networks. Consequences for businesses include regulatory penalties, civil liability, loss of business, and diminution of brand.
This webinar, presented by Intertek on behalf of the Global Life Safety Alliance (GLSA), will discuss the growth of Connected Products in both the residential and commercial marketplace and the continuous need to protect your organization and your Connected Devices. You will get expert practical advice on how to ensure that your own security technology is not turned against you.
