坚实战略:网络安全因素

更新和补丁

An effective way to maintain cybersecurity is consistently applying patches and updates to the software. Making this a regular part of your cybersecurity strategy ensures that known and emerging vulnerabilities are addressed. This vital part of your regular maintenance schedule is often missed because nobody for certain whose responsibility it is. 通过分配这些任务的具体所有权, you can ensure these updates don’t fall through the cracks and cause significant problems.

管理漏洞

IoT and digitization means that there can be thousands of devices on your network. The assets required to stay on top of these devices can be problematic due to aspects of functionality needed to keep these devices functioning properly for both security and IT purposes, 这两者往往是相互矛盾的. 例如, a security device may be manufactured with HTTPS connectivity and a self-signed security certificate, 在IT扫描过程中哪些会触发危险信号. Understanding that code used in device firmware may be borrowed from other code, which makes your business dependent on the original code vendor. The vendor will need to work with other providers to develop a patch and test it, delaying deployment and requiring your IT team to establish short-term fixes.

更换设备

旧的设备, 比如安全摄像头, 可能不再被制造商支持, creating a vector for security attacks because the firmware is not being regularly updated. For this reason, most cameras require a timeframe of five to seven years before replacement. 这会造成昂贵的, 耗费时间的, and labor-intensive processes if you plan on changing out all of your assets at one time. Developing a plan to replace approximately one-fifth of your assets every year for the ongoing future means that you can keep your system protected with better cybersecurity features while shifting the cost from capital to operating expense categories.

重要文档

在使用积分器的时候, they should be able to provide documentation that certifies that all devices and systems they’re putting into place comply with your cybersecurity policies. Because most manufacturers provide a hardening guide for security professionals to secure devices against threats, 这些信息需要与您的网络安全策略相匹配, which is why it is so important to have a concrete written cybersecurity policy to ensure all physical security equipment and system meet your expectations.

确保您的供应链安全

Knowing where products come from and how vendors secure their devices helps ensure that your supply chain won’t become an attack vector. 这包括可信平台模块(TPM), 安全固件或安全启动选项, 或者是这三个的组合. The TPM contains onboard encryption keys and certificates that are specific to the hosting system to provide hardware authentication. Firmware is checked against the secure boot system with signed hashes from the manufacturer and in the firmware’s boot sector to ensure they haven’t been compromised. If the device firmware has malware on board, the device won’t start, providing secure protection.

通过提供一个健壮的框架来抵御黑客, you can ensure your physical security devices don’t become an entry point to your network and deserve strong consideration in your written cybersecurity policy. If you need help with your company’s cybersecurity issues, Techsperts is here to help. 请 请随时与我们联系 开始吧.
