Allied Telesis AMF-SEC Automated Cyber Security Controller for IP Video Surveillance.
Allied Telesis AMF-SEC Automated Cyber Security Controller – According to BGW Technologies national product manager, Mark Shannon, with cyber threats continuing to evolve the Allied Telesis AMF-SEC cyber security solution for IP video is a vital component of a balanced CCTV installation.
Designed to protect IP surveillance and security networks, AMF-SEC delivers intelligent automation that helps integrators safeguard their customers’ systems and respond instantly to potential breaches.
“Nothing elevates security professionals stress levels like the potential for a breach in a customer’s IP surveillance network,” says Shannon.
“Allied Telesis, distributed by BGW Technologies, offers a suite of products that save time and money — while helping give installers and integrators peace of mind.”
As video surveillance and security systems become increasingly network-driven, the risk of cyber threats grows.
“We live in remarkable times from a technological standpoint,” Shannon explains. “But the connectivity and flexibility that come with networked systems also open pathways for attacks — from DDoS and man-in-the-middle attacks to malware, privacy breaches and data leaks.”
Shannon says that traditionally a firewall acted as the first and last line of defence. But with complex configurations, even a small mistake can create vulnerabilities that are costly and time-consuming to resolve. He says that’s where the Allied Telesis AMF-SEC (Autonomous Management Framework Security) steps in.
“AMF-SEC is essentially an automated cyber security controller that acts as a network protector,” says Shannon. “It works alongside the firewall to detect and contain malware instantly, preventing it from spreading across wired or wireless networks.”
With AMF-SEC, users can automate endpoint security and manage access by user, location, or time. It also enables whitelisting of known devices and the creation of event-based rules to provide immediate isolation of potential threats to minimise downtime and risk.
Behind the automation is AMF-Plus, a suite of intelligent management tools providing centralised control, auto-backup, upgrades, provisioning, and recovery. The system is complemented by Vista Manager EX, a visual interface that gives administrators a live view of their network’s status and performance.
“Vista Manager EX is the GUI that lets you see and manage everything,” Shannon explains. “With colour-coded traffic maps, live utilisation metrics, and protocol flow visualisation, it gives administrators the tools to proactively manage their networks instead of reacting to issues after they occur.”
“Installers and integrators shouldn’t wait for attackers to find vulnerabilities,” Shannon says. “Talk to your customers about intelligent cyber security solutions like Allied Telesis AMF-SEC today – solutions like these could be the one thing that sets you apart.”
