Currently, the global average cost of each network security breach is over four million dollars. This sum is the highest average total cost on record. Many security breaches go undetected and unresolved for a period, and a slow breach response typically adds to the cost.

Most cyber-attacks occur at vulnerable systems and network appliances, with network video surveillance cameras being one of the spots that are highly vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Those security breaches can happen at the camera system or the network appliances and servers associated with surveillance cameras.
