Appendix 1 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.
Page 76
7. MAC Address Binding We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the equipment, thus reducing the risk of ARP spoofing. 8. Assign Accounts and Privileges Reasonably According to business and management requirements, reasonably add users and assign a minimum set of permissions to them.
