This is a great feature! Nice work Genetec.

It would be cool if they ran a hash on the firmware as well as opposed to version numbers to be sure that spoofed firmware was not a threat.
Great Initiative by Genetek.
On the topic of Genetec, I am looking forward to HIK coming back into the fold. Some tension between VMS and manufacturer has the potential to can make both better. Full on war makes them both look a bit worse.
Great article.

This is an important aspect of solution integrity that minimizes use of additional external tools. Trusted certificate management is another area that should be examined for future automation of security policies.

Perhaps IPVM could compile a list of unsecured firmware versions also :-)

Great feature. Definitely a value-add piece to sell with all of the concern over cyber security at the moment. However it would be nice if you could just download a file from GTAP and then throw it on a USB to load it onto the Security Center server to update all of the firmware info that way, rather than needing internet access on the SC server.

It's innovations in the cyber-security field that is the next step for VMS companies. As some have said, not a perfect system, but a heck of a lot better than nothing. A very progressive, relevant and competitive move by Genetec. (From a dealer whose product on occasion goes head to head with Genetec.)
