Whitepaper · 2024Threat Intelligence and Mitigation for CCTV Systems
A research-led look at how CCTV systems get compromised, what attackers are doing today, and the mitigation framework operators can deploy to keep their surveillance infrastructure trustworthy.
What's Inside
CCTV technology has come a long way since 1942, but the attack surface has grown faster than the defenses. This whitepaper walks through the technologies in modern surveillance networks, the vulnerabilities that recur across deployments, and a mitigation framework that IT and security teams can apply without ripping out hardware.
Topics Covered
CCTV Technologies
Analog vs IP cameras, DVR/NVR architectures, and the network surfaces each exposes.
Common Vulnerabilities
Default passwords, outdated firmware, exposed management interfaces, and misconfigured networks.
Recent Cyber-Attacks
Documented incidents against surveillance systems, attacker techniques, and operational impact.
Mitigation Framework
Practical controls IT teams can apply: segmentation, identity, encryption, and monitoring.
