Genetec

Genetec develops unified physical security software that combines video surveillance, access control, communications and related security capabilities on an open platform. Its Security Center platform is designed to centralize physical security operations while incorporating cybersecurity into product design and development. Genetec applies encryption, authentication, authorization, vulnerability management and secure development practices to protect physical security systems and their data. The company also maintains vulnerability disclosure and bug bounty programs and provides security documentation through its trust center. Its solutions are used across enterprises, government, transportation, critical infrastructure and other environments where physical and cyber security increasingly overlap. Its cybersecurity value comes from protecting connected physical security infrastructure that can itself become a target for attackers. Organizations evaluating Genetec should consider camera and device coverage, access control requirements, network architecture, cybersecurity controls and integration needs. It is particularly relevant to organizations seeking a unified platform for physical security operations with built-in cybersecurity practices.
