The Importance of Certification
IOT Devices including Electronic Surveillance/ CCTV devices are rapidly evolving and there has been a strong shift in consumer perspectives towards prioritizing security in connected devices, meaning a clear-cut demand in cyber secure products.
Manufacturers and service providers in the electronic surveillance ecosystem must comply to cyber security requirements as need is higher than ever. Unfortunately, security expertise remains a barrier. Fewer than a third of organisations are very satisfied with the level of security expertise within their organisation.
Certification provided by independent third-party certification bodies is also critical to ensuring IoT security. Certification gives confidence to customers and sets a standard of security, tested by independent labs. Customers can rely on these certifications to ensure that the products and services they are buying do not contain unknown and unwanted cyber-security vulnerabilities.
