Ethically Hacking Your Surveillance System With i-PRO's Will Knehr

The “streamlining” of video surveillance via unified systems and network-connected devices has taken the weight of alarm fatigue, manual video monitoring, and more off of the shoulders of security professionals.

It has also dramatically increased their attack surface.

Sit down with host Steve Lasky and i-PRO Americas’ Senior Manager of Information Assurance and Data Privacy, Will Knehr, to discuss how threat actors can hack cameras to breach networks, why AI analytics are becoming another attack vector, and what “ethical hacking” can do to harden your security systems on this week’s episode of SecurityDNA.

Will is a cybersecurity expert, with master’s degrees in cybersecurity and business as well as numerous certifications, including CISSP, PMP, CEH, CNDA, CASP, CMMC RP, and more. A prominent figure in “ethical hacking” communities, he actively engages in demonstrations and discussions showcasing techniques and security exploits that are utilized by threat actors in real-world breaches.

His career, which began in cryptologic warfare, saw him conduct critical cyber defense missions for agencies like the NSA, DoD, and DISA. Will’s later work with Northrop Grumman involved building virtualized environments, malware analysis, data brokering, and cybersecurity program management to support special NSA and DISA projects.

In his current role at i-PRO, Will leverages his decades of cybersecurity experience to oversee the company’s product and network security.
