Cybersecurity Recommendations Cybersecurity is more than just a buzzword: it’s something that pertains to every device that is connected to the internet. IP video surveillance is not immune to cyber risks, but taking basic steps toward protecting and strengthening networks and networked appliances will make them less susceptible to attacks. Below are some tips and recommendations on how to create a more secured security system. Mandatory actions to be taken for basic device network security: 1.
6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. We suggest you to change default HTTP and other service ports into any set of numbers between 1024~65535, reducing the risk of outsiders being able to guess which ports you are using. Enable HTTPS We suggest you to enable HTTPS, so that you visit Web service through a secure communication channel. MAC Address Binding We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the device, thus reducing the risk of ARP spoofing.
Enable IP/MAC address filtering function to limit the range of hosts allowed to access the device.
