Dear Valued Customers and Partners:

Reminder to apply known vulnerability patch

Early in March, Hikvision was made aware of a privilege-escalating vulnerability in certain IP cameras. Firmware update that resolves the issue has been readily available on the Hikvision website since mid-March. Please see the referred vulnerability information and links to updated firmware.

Recently, a few online reports on cyberattacks over part of Hikvision products have been brought to our attention.

We have provided the available solution and we urge all our partners and users to ensure that the firmware update is being applied to all the products in order to reinforce cybersecurity protection of Hikvision systems.

Hikvision takes cybersecurity concerns with the utmost seriousness and takes action everyday to ensure that our products are not only innovative, but they meet the highest standards of cybersecurity best practices.
