Provision-ISR to embed its CCTV cameras with Check Point Quantum IoT Protect Nano Agent

Check Point Software Technologies has announced that it is partnering with an international CCTV market leader Provision-ISR (Israel). The partnership will involve Check Point Quantum IoT Protect Nano Agent being embedded in Provision-ISR’s CCTV cameras for on-device runtime protection against zero-day attacks. The solution brings an entirely new level of cybersecurity to the video surveillance market.

Modern CCTV cameras are essentially functioning as small computers that run operating systems, applications, have various networks and radio frequency (RF) interfaces. As such, they are also susceptible to hacking attacks. One of the biggest issues is that end-users will often keep the default usernames and passwords, essentially leaving the door open for hackers. Even with a strong password, traditional CCTV cameras are not supplied with adequate on-board security.

Ami Finer, VP Sales at Provision-ISR commented, “On a global scale, even the companies with the most considerable market share have been proven to have crucial vulnerabilities. This is because IP cameras have limited processing power, leaving little room for traditional security software. At Provision-ISR, we want to lead from the front with 100% secure CCTV devices that will give customers peace of mind. To do that, we needed an optimized threat solution with an extremely small footprint that would also be completely reliable. This is where Check Point comes in. From uncovering firmware security risks, hardening the devices with runtime protection, and managing devices with granular policies, we now have a robust end-to-end security solution.”

Oded Gonda, VP Technology & Innovation at Check Point Software says, “The expanding threat landscape is making it an absolute must to protect IoT devices from cyberattacks. And the technology is available to do it. From IP cameras, such as Provision-ISR, to routers, medical devices and industrial controllers, Quantum IoT Protect provides on-device runtime protection against even the most sophisticated fifth generation cyberattacks – serving as a powerful line of defense for all IoT devices.”
