Genetec shares best practices to protect legacy access control systems from cyberattacks
Company alerts organizations to risks
MONTRÉAL —With the ever-increasing rise in cybercrime, Genetec Inc. is cautioning organizations of all sizes to be vigilant about the cybersecurity risk posed by legacy access control systems.
“Many organizations are operating with access control systems that date back 10 years or more,” said Christian Morin, vice president of product engineering and chief security officer at Genetec. “While these older systems still allow employees to badge in and out, there’s a very high likelihood that these systems employ technologies that are extremely vulnerable to modern cyber threats.”
