SeeTec and Vivotek: Cooperation in the field of cybersecurity
The Internet of Things is on the rise - industry experts forecast a total volume of 30 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020. This development also applies to network cameras.
More and more video surveillance systems are no longer closed systems but have a permanent internet connection, which is why cybersecurity has become an important decision criterion for the choice of manufacturer. Over the last few years, it has also become apparent that IP cameras are among the preferred Targeting hackers belong to, as they are constantly connected to the Internet and have comparatively high computing power combined with good network throughput, as SeeTec writes.
Cooperation
In light of these developments, video management software company SeeTec and Vivoteka global provider of IP-based surveillance solutions, have launched a cybersecurity collaboration. This is based on the recently released cyber defense solution, in which network cameras from Vivotek are equipped with anti-intrusion software from Trend Micro. The solution provides protection against brute force attacks, automatically detects and prevents intrusion attempts, and limits the extent of damage. The SeeTec Cayuga video management system has now been tested and certified for use with Vivotek network cameras running Trend Micro software, ensuring seamless IT security in the video ecosystem.
Andreas Beerbaum, CEO of SeeTec, emphasizes the importance of this initiative: "The level of IT security of any video system is determined by the weakest link in the chain - that's why it's important not only to pay attention to high security standards when selecting individual components such as cameras, software and infrastructure, but also to ensure that there are no security gaps between them."
Shengfu Cheng, Director of Vivotek Marketing and Product Development Division, added, "The launch of our cybersecurity solution underscores Vivotek's commitment to providing high-quality and reliable products to our customers. We are pleased to work with SeeTec as a strategic partner as both companies continue to build technical expertise and investment to create value for users around the world."
