BETHESDA, MD. DECEMBER 19, 2017<\/p>\n
Brivo, the global leader in cloud-based physical security solutions, announced today that the company has added new cyber security defenses to its\u00a0Brivo Onair platform\u00a0to protect customers from certain malware threats. Newly developed cyber security components that detect malicious \u201cbots\u201d as well as DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks have been embedded in Brivo\u2019s Onair cloud service and associated on-premise controllers. As the rise of IoT has underscored the need for rigorous cyber defenses at the device level, Brivo has provided its customers with ongoing system updates that address the unique needs of commercial security platforms.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the growing prevalence of exploits of IoT devices like controllers and cameras, we believe that frequent cyber defense updates are more important than ever,\u201d says Steve Van Till, President and CEO of Brivo. \u201cAs both the cloud application provider and the device manufacturer, we are in a unique position to simultaneously update both pieces and provide coordinated, end-to-end defenses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bots are a type of malicious software that attempt to take over a computer or microprocessor system. The new bot detection in the Brivo\u2019s controller firmware defends against these malicious agents by detecting the anomalous communications patterns they produce. The new firmware also detects and limits abnormally high transmission rates that are the characteristic signature of DDoS attacks. After detection, Brivo\u2019s Onair cloud then provides customers with alerts that allow them to begin to take corrective action.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0encryption used in Brivo\u2019s newest door controllers, the ACS6000 and ACS300, supports the latest standards and longer key lengths: TLS1.2+ with AES256 encryption and a SHA256 certificate with a 4096-bit key. \u201cBrivo has been focused on delivering the best cyber protection available to its customers for years, and these new features continue in that tradition,\u201d says Steve Van Till.<\/p>\n
Brivo maintains a continuous regimen of product vulnerability testing and publication of security updates to address new threats. Brivo Onair has been validated with more than a decade of information security audits, has achieved the Cloud Security Alliance STAR designation and Privacy Shield certification from the U.S. Department of Commerce. Brivo\u2019s annual SOC 2 audits are conducted by an independent service auditor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
