As stated by David Enderle, General Director at Automatic Systems, “It was clear that, as a supplier of access control devices, it was essential to protect against cyber-attacks to guarantee service availability, data integrity and confidentiality. We began this development three years ago, and today we're seeing a real shift in our market’s reality, so these enhancements come at just the right time,” he adds. “More and more devices are being placed on the customer's local network for monitoring purposes. They are therefore subject to the customer's IT security constraints and undergo recurring penetration tests.”
The most common authentication rules, including but not limited to: Tiered access levels for user profiles; Passwords requiring more robust criteria and a log of all authentication attempts, have been implemented within the V07 software to protect against most common attacks (DDOS, MITM, exploitation of vulnerabilities, injection, etc.). Automatic Systems has also reduced the attack surface and implemented ‘good practice’ rules on its system by disabling non mandatory services, closing any unused communication ports and upgrading communication libraries.
