The Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center was filled to the brim with security experts, integrators, end users and more on day one of ASIS 2017 creating an atmosphere of innovative collaboration right in the heart of downtown Dallas. It was quiet a sight to see!

In case you might have missed it, we’ve wrangled up (A cowboy pun is a must - you’re in Dallas for goodness sake.) moments from day one that you might have missed. These moments were caught on our Live From page viewable at this link: https://securitytoday.com/pages/asis.aspx.

Costar Video Systems and Christie Brimberry of Gas Monkey Garage

On day one of the show, Costar Systems Video invited out Christie Brimberry, assistant to Richard Rawlings at Gas Monkey Garage, as seen on Fast N’ Loud, the Discovery Channel television program.

Costar has a wonderful working relationship with Rawlings, Brimberry and Gas Monkey Garage as they help him to secure his facility with their StarNET video management software. The powerful processing capabilities of StarNET allows it to manage multiple video streams from both analog, HD-TVI, and IP cameras. The StarNET platforms allows for a decentralized management structure, which does not require a central point of access.

On Wednesday, Sept. 27, Rawlings will be at Costar’s booth (2209) to sign autographs and take some selfies. While you’re there, ask for a demo of StarNET, the people at Costar are more than happy to help.

 

Tom Galvin Speaks on Hardening Surveillance Cameras Against Cyber Attacks

Tom Galvin, CEO of Razberi Technologies gave an insightful and educational talk on how to harden security cameras against cyber attacks, something that we, unfortunately, are having to deal with as an industry has hackers become more and more informed on the vulnerabilities of the hardware.

During Galvin’s session, he highlighted three important takeaways: expect cyber attacks against surveillance systems, identify and protect the attack surfaces and apply automation and tools to get consistent results. Fortunately, Razberi has just the product to help you thwart the cyber criminals.

CameraDefense automates and scales your efforts by hardening cameras automatically so they don’t become a liability. Next, it will use the unique capabilities of Razberi ServerSwitchIQ™ to isolate cameras in a distributed appliance architecture and set up a VLAN. After that, you can take advantage of ongoing health monitoring for proactive alerts to act before it is too late.

  • Evolving Cybersecurity Strategies

    Organizations are increasingly turning their attention to human-focused security approaches, as two out of three (68%) cybersecurity incidents involve people. Threat actors are shifting from targeting networks and systems to hacking humans via social engineering methods, living off human errors as their most prevalent attack vector. Whether manipulated or not, human cyber behavior is leveraged to gain backdoor access into systems.
