Cyber Security

Cyber threats won’t wait, and IP-based access control is firmly in the spotlight. We want to make it easy for you to protect your customers’ 2N deployments and give auditors the confidence they expect.

What secure looks like with 2N

2N take security seriously, from development to disclosure. They follow the Axis Security Development Model, are transparent about vulnerabilities through the CVE Programme, and meet key regulations and standards including NIS2, the Radio Equipment Directive, the UK PSTI Act and ISO 27001. That foundation means you can build systems that are secure by design and easier to maintain.

Five actions to harden every 2N install

1.	Eliminate default and weak credentials Set unique, strong admin passwords on all devices and portals. Disable any unused accounts. PSTI rules require it, and it closes the easiest door for attackers.
2.	Patch on a planned cadence Keep intercoms, readers and management software up to date. Schedule maintenance windows and log firmware versions so you are never part of the 60% of breaches caused by unpatched vulnerabilities.
3.	Lock down the network path Segment 2N devices on dedicated VLANs, restrict inbound traffic, and enable HTTPS/TLS for management. Only expose what you must, never to the open internet.
4.	Configure securely from the start Apply hardened configuration profiles for 2N devices. Disable unused services, set certificate-based access where possible and back up configs to a secure location for audit trails.
5.	Prove it with documentation Record versions, settings, password policy and update history. This satisfies NIS2 incident-readiness and gives your customers evidence that security is managed, not assumed.

How ProVu can help

Pre-config and staging: we can ship 2N devices with hardened settings agreed with you.
Advanced replacement services: minimise downtime with like-for-like replacements if a device develops a fault. We’ll fast-track the swap, handle the RMA, and keep your project moving while the original unit is assessed.
Remote installation: we partner with a trusted third-party installation team, so you can complete 2N installs without deploying your own team.
Escalation: direct access to our technical team for design reviews and complex installations.

Here’s the reality. Your customers aren’t buying acronyms; they’re buying the calm certainty that Monday won’t start with a portal outage and a CEO on the warpath. In UK telecoms right now, evidence beats promises and that’s where you win.

So why now?

Ransomware is testing carriers in public – After a recent UK teleco firm’s data breach made headlines and boardrooms nervous. The lesson isn’t panic; it’s pace; patch faster, configure tighter, and make sure even areas you think no one uses are covered by some security.
Regulators want proof – Ofcom is forcing tougher anti-spoofing measures, and DSIT’s just opened a consultation to update the Telecoms Security Code of Practice. Expect more scrutiny of segmentation, firmware, and access control, plus audit trails.
AI is shrinking the patch-to-exploit window – NCSC’s outlook to 2027 is blunt: attackers will scale up exploitation of known flaws. Basics, done brilliantly, beat silver bullets.
