You can end up losing a lot of money and at the same time endangering the information of your customers, employees, and clients if a hacker finds out how to hack your company’s recorder. If you’re wondering how hacking a surveillance camera can endanger the cybersecurity of the entire organization, then here’s how hackers work.
- They can release malware in any system that’s using the internet.
- Remember, every device that’s connected to a router is a sort of computer and suffers from the same vulnerabilities that computers and laptops do.
Speaking of this in other words, hacking the software of the company’s recorder will give hackers:
- Remote access to your surveillance system.
- A window to infect the router. And if the router gets hacked then every network using that router will be hacked too.
Now let’s talk about the ways in which you can drastically reduce the chances of such security attacks on your organization.
- White Hat Hackers Can Help
These people work in close association with cybersecurity experts to find out vulnerabilities but not for the purpose of misusing them. They patch the bugs they find.
- You can pay them whatever bounty you prefer.
- You can pay them as much or as less depending upon the severity of the bug that they discover.
- You don’t have to pay them for an already identified bug.
Google and Facebook run such bug bounty programs to invite the clean community of hackers to discover bugs and report them before threat actors can misuse them.
- Password Habits that are Necessary
The basics are simple, clear, and easy to follow.
- Use a password manager app to save passwords.
- Don’t share the password with anyone.
- Every device should have an exclusive password that’s different from other devices.
- MFA For Additional Security
Adding 3 more layers of security that have to be cleared to access the system is highly effective and the technique to do so is known as MFA (multi-factor authentication).
Clearing the backdoor password will, thus, not be enough to enter a system. Every factor will have to be cleared.
- VPN for Employees Working from Home
Remote workers should use VPN. Make it mandatory. Consider VPN as a scanner that first uses many security tools to check that the system of a remote worker isn’t compromised. Only clean systems are allowed to access the data of the organization.
Whenceforth, it’s possible to minimize the damage that hackers can cause and even to avoid it completely when all these 4 techniques are adopted simultaneously.
