Value of a Managed Service Platform

Are You Comfortable with Vulnerabilities in Your Critical Infrastructure? 

Ignoring vulnerabilities doesn’t make them disappear—especially in cybersecurity for physical security systems and IoT devices. Regular discussion and awareness are crucial to keep the importance of cybersecurity at the forefront. 

The Overlooked Risks 

Many IP cameras and other security devices run on embedded Linux and often include common software/libraries like Apache and OpenSSL. Just like corporations are vigilant about patching vulnerabilities in their server farms, the same vigilance is required for IoT and security devices. The question is: would you tolerate vulnerabilities in critical servers? If not, why would you overlook the same risks in IP cameras, IP speakers, IP radars, IP door controllers, and similar devices? 

The Need for a Defined Patch Management Strategy 

At YourSix, we recognize the challenges both end-users and system integrators face in managing firmware updates and ensuring compatibility with the latest software. Effective patch management requires careful planning to minimize downtime and avoid incompatibilities. This can be a complex manual process or streamlined through automation via SaaS.

Embracing Managed Services and Automation 

This is where managed services and VSaaS/PSaaS come into play. Traditional on-premise solutions often fall short in addressing these needs. YourSix stands out by automating device firmware and patch management across all devices registered with our cloud services. By integrating VMS platforms and VSaaS, we take ownership of firmware maintenance, reducing the need for manual operations and improving overall system reliability. 

The Industry Shift 

Our approach is changing the industry landscape, disrupting legacy systems that fail to keep up with modern demands. As we move towards more automated, cloud-based solutions, the need for manual intervention in device maintenance diminishes. YourSix is committed to this shift, ensuring that cybersecurity is a proactive, automated process rather than a reactive one.

Stay Ahead of the Curve 

Evaluate your current approach to device management and patching. Are your systems equipped to handle the latest firmware updates with minimal disruption? If not, it’s time to explore how YourSix can streamline your cybersecurity efforts and enhance your overall security posture.
