Summary

Combining a range of standard IT security methods with a set of unique VMS features in the Milestone XProtect VMS products enables customers to make a secure deployment of video surveillance solutions with full end-to-end security and encryption of the VMS media data.

The XProtect VMS’s support of encryption of both streamed and recorded media data ensures that media cannot be captured or accessed by unauthorized people during network transit or at rest in the media database.

The XProtect VMS’s additional support of digital signatures in the recording server’s media database and in exported media databases ensures that it is possible to verify that the media evidence has not been tampered with, neither in the VMS recording servers nor later during transport or viewing of the exported media.

In extension to the encryption and digital signing functionality, the XProtect VMS furthermore offers the VMS owner strict control over who has access to specific devices and export functionality, including centralized control and enforcement of allowed export formats and destinations, usage of encryption and digital signing, and the option to prohibit re-export of exported media.

Using the entire suite of cybersecurity features in the Milestone XProtect VMS allows customers to operate a secure video surveillance installation, even in environments with heightened cybersecurity needs and risks.
