"Securing IoT devices must be a top priority from start to finish these days. Whereas the issue used to be seen mainly as an add-on, it is now a fundamental part of product development and partner policy. According to Fabian de Clippelaar, Engineer at Axis Communications, this shift did not come out of the blue. "The growing computing power of devices offers opportunities for innovation. But if that power is not applied or secured in the right way, it can also cause serious problems.""
"Security cameras and other IoT devices have quickly evolved into fully-fledged mini-computers with powerful processors and extensive software functionality. This makes them an attractive target for cybercriminals seeking to build botnets or exploit vulnerabilities to gain access to corporate networks. For Axis, this was reason enough to drastically change course years ago, when it saw the increase coming. From the initial design stage, cybersecurity measures are incorporated into the life cycle of every product. And long after that, the search for optimization continues."
Computing power growth turned IoT devices into mini-computers, increasing security risks such as botnets and network breaches. Axis integrated cybersecurity into product lifecycles from initial design and continues optimizing post-release. The company registers breaches with the CVE database, operates a bug bounty program, and rewards pentesters and security researchers for timely vulnerability reporting. Axis commits to releasing patches within eight weeks after responsible disclosure. The company frames cybersecurity as a shared responsibility: devices require correct configuration by users and system integrators to achieve practical security.
