IP Connected Security Systems
ForeScout ranked IP Connected security systems as a potentially "disastrous" security risk, meaning it could cause irreversible damage, invade user privacy, or enable hackers to gain access to private corporate information.
According to ForeScout, many connected security systems use proprietary radio frequency technology that lacks authentication and encryption to communicate. Most systems also use radio signals that are easy to detect and fail to employ frequency hopping techniques, leaving them open to jamming and spoofing that could enable criminals to turn off motion sensors or remotely open locks. Attackers can also form radio signals to send false triggers and access system controls, according to ForeScout.
