General information

Information security is a field set of measures and tools dedicated to protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, destruction, modification, or violation of system integrity. The main goals of information security are to ensure confidentiality (protecting information from unauthorized access), integrity (ensuring In the context of Axxon One, information security is implemented through three main goals:

Elements of information security

...

Element	Description
Authentication and access control	Users—Accounts are created by the administrator. Local users and Active Directory (LDAP) integration are supported. Change user password—User can change their General information about users Changing user password
Protected export	Export—Ability to set a password on the exported archive or use a digital signature to confirm authenticity. Watermark checker utility—allows you to verify that the exported data has not been modified after uploading
Object masking	Privacy masking—Static darkening or blurring of specified areas of a video (for example, stationary objects). Person-based privacy masking—dynamic tracking and masking of specific areas of the human body
Automatic system responses in the event of inactivity or integrity violations	Logon Configuring automatic response when Axxon One integrity check fails —All logon attempts (successful and unsuccessful) are recorded. Configurable rules: automatic session termination after prolonged operator inactivity, interface locking. Security policy—The administrator can set a policy for password change (frequency, complexity, blocking on unsuccessful attempts) and configure notifications in the event of a system breach.
Encrypting and hiding private information in the archive	Encrypting a volume of an object archive—Video data is recorded in encrypted form (AES-256-GCM algorithm). Configuring privacy masking in archive—Ability to exclude from the archive certain areas or entire frames containing sensitive information without disrupting the overall continuity of the recording
Technical protection of information	Configuring the Web-Server—The embedded web server of Axxon One supports HTTPS with the ability to use custom certificates. We recommend disabling unused network interfaces and protocols. Using Axxon One with antivirus software—To prevent false positives and ensure performance, you must configure exclusions for Axxon One processes and directories in your antivirus software

Recommendations for enhancing information security

To enhance the system security, we recommend you do the following:

1. Regularly update Axxon One (see Update, Updating Axxon One in Linux OS) and the operating system (see Requirements for Windows OS updates).
2. Use complex passwords and configure a policy for password change. Securely store the administrator password.
3. Restrict physical access to server hardware.
4. Use archive encryption for systems that handle particularly sensitive data.
5. Maintain a security event log (logins, permission changes, exports) and regularly analyze it.
6. Separate the video surveillance network from the corporate network (VLANs, isolated switches).
