Network-compatible surveillance or web cameras pose a potential security risk as many other types of devices in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). This is particularly due to the fact that the aspect of cyber security is a design objective which is not taken into account or is taken into account only secondarily when developing and operating these devices. Therefore, such cameras can become a security risk for the organisation’s own infrastructure as well as for third parties.

The objective of this document is to give an overview of the fundamental best practices regarding the secure operation of these cameras in the business environment.
