Summary
Axis Communications has signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Secure by Design pledge, committing to enhance the cybersecurity resilience of its surveillance products within a year. This decision comes after the identification of vulnerabilities in its cameras that could expose users to hacking risks, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures in physical security technologies. By implementing principles such as vulnerability disclosure and multifactor authentication, Axis seeks to set a standard for the industry, highlighting the critical importance of security in healthcare technology, where surveillance systems are increasingly used. This initiative reflects a growing awareness among healthcare professionals of the vulnerabilities associated with connected devices and the necessity for stringent cybersecurity practices.
