The Rise of Cyber Threats in AV Systems
How to Protect Your Business
As audiovisual (AV) technology continues to evolve, businesses are integrating more advanced AV solutions to enhance communication, collaboration and entertainment experiences. However, this increased connectivity also brings heightened risks, with cyber threats in AV systems becoming a growing concern. From unauthorised access to data breaches, AV infrastructure is now a prime target for cybercriminals. At Lucid, we understand these risks and offer tailored AV solutions designed with security in mind, ensuring that your business remains protected.
Understanding Cyber Threats in AV
AV systems are no longer standalone components; they are fully networked and integrated into corporate IT infrastructures, and often connected to cloud services. This makes them vulnerable to:
- Unauthorised access – hackers can gain control of AV devices, disrupting business operations or extracting sensitive information.
- Eavesdropping and data theft – unsecured microphones, cameras and conferencing systems can be exploited to listen in on confidential conversations.
- Ransomware and malware attacks – compromised AV systems can be used as entry points to spread malware across corporate networks.
- Firmware and software vulnerabilities – outdated software or weak authentication can expose AV equipment to cyberattacks.
