Modern technology is continuously evolving. All our data is now transmitted through the internet and the need to protect our data is essential as cyberthreats grow. Data encryption is a technology that has gained popularity due to its ability to convert information to a code, which prevents unauthorized access. The technology is especially helpful with the cyber problems we face today, which addresses the privacy concerns and data protection demands from users.

Shure network audio encryption

Shure has considered the unique security needs of our customers and developed technology to safeguard content without compromising audio quality. Shure Network Audio Encryption uses AES-256 crypto technology to protect confidential content. The AES-256 encryption algorithm has been adopted as one of the safest forms of network protection by leading financial institutions, government bodies and healthcare services. Only Shure devices with the correct pass phrase will permit audio to be heard. With Shure Network Audio Encryption enabled, Dante audio is encrypted before being sent over the network. When it is received by another Shure device that supports this feature, it is decrypted and forwarded for IntelliMix processing or analog conversion.

Mobotix Cactus Concept

The objective of the Mobotix Cactus Concept is to implement a multimedia cybersecurity

campaign in order to raise awareness among potential and existing MOBOTIX customers of the importance of data security in network-based video security systems and how organizations can protect themselves through cost-efficient and intelligent solutions. End-to-end encryption with no blind spots is required, from the image source via the data cables and the data storage through to the video management system on the user’s computer. Like a cactus, whose every limb is covered in thorns, all of the modules (camera, storage, cables, VMS) in the MOBOTIX system have digital thorns that protect them from unauthorized access.

Key features

Set of built-in tools and features that allows administrators to configure each device as multi-layered approach to cyberattacks
Uses the services of SySS to examine the security of both software and hardware
Provides end-to-end encryption with no blind spots

Symantec information centric encryption

Symantec’s information centric encryption protects sensitive data, wherever it is, ensuring access only to authenticated users. The solution prevents data loss by revoking user access with central monitoring and controls. Information Centric Encryption delivers strong, simple protection that follows data wherever you store, use or move it. It protects data with enterprise-strength techniques through the integration with Symantec Data Loss Prevention, Symantec CloudSOC (Cloud Access Security Broker) or Symantec Information Centric Tagging technologies.
