When I look at the breaches this year alone, VMware, Orion, verkada, ms-exchange, Facebook, BGP leak earlier this week, coupled with the cyber threat landscape im more comfortable silo’ing off my security systems and managing them internally, any wan connectivity from the outside world requirements will leverage vpn with strong encryption to get the outsider into the local area network where even when leveraged will be segmented, this is the only way I can reasonably protect my customers, protecting physical security assets using vendor systems is just as important as protecting the logical networks they reside on. Where this becomes viable (my opinion) is at under 20 camera in a non critical environment which doesn’t have a requirement for 100% uptime, and no failovers and redundancies on the wan link. Leveraging technologies like SD-Wan, software defined networking, dark fiber, mpls, redundant links, ect could make it viable but the cost benefit diminishes over time in comparison to onprem, specifically when it comes to 300+ cameras.Ĭloud based has a use case however if I have a site running 50+, 3MP 15fps, h265/hevc would require 64mbps constant, with failover and load balancing, along with a buffer not including the customers wan requirements. From the Admin Tool you can define the network and configure the backup and storage settings for the Avigilon Control. The Admin Tool is used to configure the Windows service. The Windows service runs automatically when your computer starts. And while Onprem is breachable there would be physical barriers to get through rather than logical.Ĭloud is someone else’s computer that is in some unknown location, furthermore the link between the customer to these cloud services require internet with maximum uptime/utilization rates which seen unrealistic to large enterprises. The Avigilon Control Center Server software contains two parts: the Windows service and the Admin Tool. Verkada, was compromised due to a weak exposed password on its camera systems that require cloud connectivity therefore “internet” to work.īoth these breaches were the result of some negligence on the part of the vendor but wouldn’t have occurred on a conventional cctv “closed circuit network surveillance system” of which many integrators including myself swear by. There are some docs that explain a bad commit which pushed out compromised code as well, but not corruption this was deliberate. Solarwinds was compromised due to a weak password on the Orion backend, which the ceo tried to blame on a intern. If you have ACC Client installed on your computer, you can find the Avigilon standalone Player in this folder: C:\Program Files\Avigilon\Avigilon Control Center Client\PlayerInstaller If you do not have ACC Client installed, then you can download the standalone Player here.
