Effective cybersecurity is about assessing risks and consequences and taking appropriate steps. It’s about products, people, technology and ongoing processes, and about partnering with a supplier that’s prepared to support you at every level. Which is where Axis enters the picture. We believe that our 100% focus on cybersecurity makes us the perfect partner for cyber protection. We are delighted to have commissioned and sponsored this document from Unified Security Ltd' research. We believe its recommendations for our partners and customers operating in the Enterprise Security Risk Management space will be invaluable.
In addition to this report there are a number of Axis documents and educational items available on the subject of cybersecurity. You can visit our Cybersecurity portal at https://www.axis.com/global/en/about-axis/cybersecurity to find out more. We strongly recommend all of our customers visit the portal and download a copy of the Axis Hardening guide which offers practical advice to protect your security solution.
This White Paper looks at Enterprise Security Risk Management (ESRM), and in particular the issue of buying and selling to siloed physical and logical security teams. Converged Security Management utilises an approach which brings together both physical and logical security professionals and teams and gets beyond the silos that have traditionally restricted a single view of Security Risks. The Paper identifies the changes which have led to why now is an important turning point for many security teams to take action, and what the stakeholders need to do to support a converged buying security team. It covers product information and support to stakeholders throughout its lifespan, ensuring clear messaging on the security of the devices / systems and their contribution to the overall solution of ESRM. It also considers the security of the product and its design. By acting on these areas physical security vendors will be able to not only level the playing field compared with logical security vendors, but in some cases over take them in terms of maturity in integration.
