WHAT IS CYBERSECURITY?

Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks and data from malicious attacks. It is also known as information technology security or electronic information security. The term is applied in different contexts, from business to mobile computing, and can be divided into a few common categories:

• Network security.
• Application security.
• Information security.
• Operational security.
• Disaster recovery and business continuity.
• End-user training.
• Types of cyber threats

There are three types of cybersecurity threats:

1. Cybercrime involves individual actors or groups attacking systems for financial gain or disruption.
2. Cyber attacks often involve information gathering for political purposes.
3. Cyberterrorism aims to weaken electronic systems to cause panic or fear.

At a national level, we have been affected by cyber-attacks that have negatively impacted several entities in the country. Edintel works hard to counteract these types of incidents for our customers, which is why our VMS (video management system) platform, the Omnicast Security Center from Genetec, is the only one with UL certification for cybersecurity for security signaling and life safety systems.

The UL Cybersecurity Assurance Program (UL CAP) is a robust certification program that evaluates the security of networkable products and vendor processes, being standardized and verifiable cybersecurity criteria for assessing vulnerabilities and program weaknesses in integrated technology products and systems.

The Omnicast is a video management solution that gives you a clear picture of events and enables you to react quickly to threats. The system adapts to your needs and allows you to take advantage of the latest hardware and analytics technologies. With a smarter video approach, your operations and security improve over time, helping you make better, more informed decisions.
