Uncompromising Security: Why Hanwha Vision

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and pervasive. As video surveillance systems handle sensitive information safeguarding critical assets, robust security measures are imperative.

Hanwha Vision, a global vision solution provider, has consistently demonstrated its commitment to cybersecurity, earning top industry certifications and the trust of customers worldwide. Through this dedication, Hanwha Vision ensures security at every stage, from initial product manufacturing through deployment.

Global Certifications: A Testament to Security Excellence

Hanwha Vision adheres to stringent international security and privacy standards, including the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The company’s products are trusted by organizations that require the highest levels of privacy and data security, including:

• Leading, global Fortune 500 companies across many industries
• Airports and global/regional airlines
• The U.S. government and its agencies
• Hospitals and healthcare networks
• School and universities, and more

Hanwha Vision actively pursues certifications from renowned independent organizations. A sampling of top-tier certifications that Hanwha Vision has earned include:

• UL CAP Certification: Hanwha Vision’s core security camera lineup has achieved UL CAP (Cybersecurity Assurance Program) certification from UL, a global safety science leader. This certification validates the company’s commitment to rigorous security standards, including penetration testing, access control, user authentication, encryption, and software updates.
• FIPS 140-2 Certified TPM: Many Hanwha Vision products incorporate a FIPS 140-2 certified Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a security chip that protects encryption keys and prevents data breaches in hardware.
• TTA Certification: Hanwha Vision has obtained TTA certification from the Korea Information and Communication Technology Association (TTA), ensuring the quality and security of its products.
• ISO 27001 Certification: The company’s ISO 27001 certification demonstrates its robust information security management system, guaranteeing the systematic and secure management of sensitive information.

Secure by Design: Hanwha Vision’s Commitment to Trust

Hanwha Vision’s Wisenet7 chipset, equipped with the company’s embedded security platform module HTPM (Hanwha Trusted Platform Module), provides an additional layer of security.

Critical information is saved in the chipsets’ Secure Storage and processed through the Secure OS. The Secure Boot feature verifies the firmware during each step of the device boot phase, blocking the execution of malicious firmware.

Mutual authentication supported in Hanwha Vision’s products ensures secure communication between devices. This prevents hacking during encrypted communication and secures sensitive information from leakage or damage. Each Hanwha Vision product carries a unique device authentication, acting as a digital fingerprint to thwart large-scale data breaches.

Hanwha Vision’s Security-Computer Emergency Response Team (S-CERT) proactively monitors for and responds to potential security threats 24/7. By leveraging advanced security technologies, the team conducts regular security assessments and implements immediate countermeasures to protect customer assets.

As a designated CVE® Numbering Authority (CNA), Hanwha Vision is responsible for identifying, defining, and cataloging cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The company contributes to the global effort to make a safer cyber environment with its technical leadership.

Embracing Transparency: Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

As open source software becomes ubiquitous, the transparency and management of components within software products have gained significant importance. The escalating threat of cyberattacks targeting software supply chains has made it imperative to implement robust countermeasures.

To further strengthen its cybersecurity protocols, Hanwha Vision will, by the end of this year, start issuing Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs).

A SBOM is a management tool that provides a historical record of the components, licenses, versions, and other relevant information included in the software, serving as a sort of ingredient list for the product. By introducing SBOMs, Hanwha Vision aims to provide even broader transparency for its products and solutions, and to facilitate the identification and management of potential security threats.

«Customer safety and trust are our top priorities. We are dedicated to protecting valuable assets against ever-evolving cyber threats,» said an official of S-CERT at Hanwha Vision. “This proactive SBOM approach is just another example of Hanwha Vision’s commitment to strengthening security across the entire software supply chain, thereby not only enhancing the quality of the company’s products and solutions, but also solidifying trust with its customers.”
