Secure by Design: Hanwha Vision’s Commitment to Trust

Hanwha Vision’s Wisenet7 chipset, equipped with the company’s embedded security platform module HTPM (Hanwha Trusted Platform Module), provides an additional layer of security.

Critical information is saved in the chipsets’ Secure Storage and processed through the Secure OS. The Secure Boot feature verifies the firmware during each step of the device boot phase, blocking the execution of malicious firmware.

Mutual authentication supported in Hanwha Vision’s products ensures secure communication between devices. This prevents hacking during encrypted communication and secures sensitive information from leakage or damage.

Each Hanwha Vision product carries a unique device authentication, acting as a digital fingerprint to thwart large-scale data breaches.

Hanwha Vision’s Security-Computer Emergency Response Team (S-CERT) proactively monitors for and responds to potential security threats 24/7. By leveraging advanced security technologies, the team conducts regular security assessments and implements immediate countermeasures to protect customer assets.

As a designated CVE® Numbering Authority (CNA), Hanwha Vision is responsible for identifying, defining, and cataloguing cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The company contributes to the global effort to make a safer cyber environment with its technical leadership.

Embracing Transparency: Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

As open source software becomes ubiquitous, the transparency and management of components within software products have gained significant importance. The escalating threat of cyberattacks targeting software supply chains has made it imperative to implement robust countermeasures.

To further strengthen its cybersecurity protocols, Hanwha Vision will, by the end of this year, start issuing Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs).

A SBOM is a management tool that provides a historical record of the components, licenses, versions, and other relevant information included in the software, serving as a sort of ingredient list for the product. By introducing SBOMs, Hanwha Vision aims to provide even broader transparency for its products and solutions, and to facilitate the identification and management of potential security threats.

Customer safety and trust are our top priorities. We remain in our dedication to protecting valuable assets against ever-evolving cyber threats.
