Cyberattacks are increasing in number and sophistication. Whether hobbyist hackers being mischievous, well-organized cybercriminals looking for financial gain, or nation state-backed actors seeking to undermine an adversary’s society, cyberattacks come in numerous forms and from multiple sources.

The impact of a cybersecurity breach can be devastating for both individuals and organizations, from data loss and operational disruption to financial loss and reputational damage. Even worse, there could be legal implications.

“The percentage of organisations affected by a successful cyber attack was 80.7% in 2020,” according to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2020.

Surveillance as part of the essential entity value chain

While physical measures – perimeter fences, access control, and security guards – have been enhanced with advanced video surveillance technology in place at every essential service facility, the increasingly connected nature of these solutions has placed them in the front line for cyberattack. Cameras themselves are not just susceptible to tampering; they may also expose network cables. This can provide an opportunity to breach the network.

Unfortunately, there’s no single solution to the challenges of cybersecurity and no such thing as iron-clad cybersecurity that comes built-in to any product. Rather, cybersecurity is a question of trusted partnerships where everyone, sub-supplier to manufacturer and from installers and integrators to end users, each has an important role to play. Mitigating the risks of cyberthreats is a shared responsibility.
