i-PRO Co., Ltd. has announced a new initiative, the Security Update, aimed at enhancing the security, data integrity, and overall resiliency of its advanced edge-AI camera systems.
As the demands on security systems evolve, it is crucial for devices to maintain their reliability and trustworthiness over time. This initiative is designed to enhance the long-term security measures of i-PRO’s camera systems, ensuring customers can continue to trust in the integrity of their data while preparing for future requirements.
Maintaining compliance readiness
The Security Update incorporates a range of hardware, firmware, and architectural improvements to bolster i-PRO's secure-by-design methodology in forthcoming versions of selected camera models.
These enhancements will be phased into around 200 current camera models through a scheduled rollout of future product iterations. The existing deployed cameras will remain secure, without any changes. By aligning with global standards and regulations—including FIPS 140-3 in the United States, the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act, and Japan's JC-STAR framework—the initiative assists organisations in maintaining compliance readiness and ensures system reliability through a planned evolution of i-PRO’s camera portfolio.
Strengthened cryptographic protection
i-PRO is fortifying the security measures of its edge-AI camera systems to safeguard data integrity
Gerard Figols, Chief Operating Officer at i-PRO, stated, "Security is no longer just a feature; it is a core requirement that must be maintained throughout the lifecycle of a system."
He highlighted that with the Security Update initiative, i-PRO is fortifying the security measures of its edge-AI camera systems to safeguard data integrity and provide customers with peace of mind for the future. As reliance on AI-driven insights grows, ensuring the integrity of trusted data is of paramount importance. The Security Update encompasses improvements across multiple architectural layers, including stronger cryptographic protection, expanded secure boot capabilities, enhanced physical security, and secure communications by default.
Physical security measures
The initiative introduces a defence-in-depth architecture that protects devices from initial deployment through years of operation.
Enhanced models incorporating the Security Update will be introduced gradually during 2026 and 2027. These updated models will feature new model numbers while retaining compatibility with existing systems. This rollout builds on i-PRO’s longstanding commitment to security, ensuring transparent handling of vulnerabilities and clear documentation of software components, thus allowing customers to better manage and trust their system’s security over time.
Resist physical tampering
Expanded Secure Boot capabilities ensure only authenticated firmware can run on the device
Key improvements of the Security Update include alignment with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 cryptographic standards by integrating enhanced Secure Element components to protect encryption keys and resist tampering. Expanded Secure Boot capabilities ensure only authenticated firmware can run on the device, mitigating the risk of unauthorised software execution.
Additionally, default HTTPS activation strengthens secure communications and simplifies deployment of cybersecurity best practices. Physical security is reinforced with tamper-resistant hardware enhancements such as robust fastening mechanisms and secure screw designs to prevent unauthorised camera access.
This initiative does not require replacing or updating already deployed cameras, as existing installations will remain secure, supported, and unchanged. The Security Update pertains only to future versions of selected camera models, preserving compatibility with current systems, installations, and workflows.
i-PRO Co., Ltd., a pioneer in professional security and public safety solutions, announces its Security Update initiative, a program designed to further strengthen the security, cybersecurity resilience, data integrity, and long-term trustworthiness of its advanced edge-AI camera portfolio.
As security requirements continue to evolve, systems must remain reliable, trusted and resilient over time. With this initiative, i-PRO is strengthening the long-term security of its camera systems to help customers maintain confidence in the integrity of their data and prepare for future requirements.
Maintaining compliance readiness
The Security Update introduces a series of hardware, firmware, and architectural enhancements that reinforce i-PRO's secure-by-design approach and will be incorporared into future versions of selected camera models.
As part of this initiative, i-PRO will introduce these improvements across approximately 200 existing camera models through a phased rollout of future product versions. Existing deployed cameras remain secure, supported, and unchanged. By aligning with evolving standards and regulations, including FIPS 140-3 in the United States, the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act, and Japan's JC-STAR framework, the Security Update supports organisations in maintaining compliance readiness and system reliability through a planned, phased evolution of the camera portfolio.
Strengthened cryptographic protection
"Security is no longer just a feature; it is a core requirement that must be maintained throughout the lifecycle of a system," said Gerard Figols, Chief Operating Officer at i-PRO. "With this Security Update initiative, we are strengthening the security of our advanced edge-AI camera systems to help protect data integrity and give customers peace of mind for the years ahead. As organisations increasingly rely on analytics and AI-driven insights, trusted data becomes more important than ever. Our goal is to help ensure the integrity of the information customers rely on, because trusted AI depends on trusted data."
The Security Update incorporates these improvements across multiple layers of the system architecture. These include strengthened cryptographic protection, expanded secure boot capabilities, enhanced physical security measures, and secure communications by default.
Physical security measures
Together, these measures create a defence-in-depth architecture that protects devices from initial deployment through years of operation. The Security Update strengthens overall system security while preserving compatibility, support, and stability for existing deployments.
As part of this phased rollout, enhanced models will gradually incorporate the Security Update during 2026 and 2027. These models will receive revised model numbers to reflect the updated security architecture while remaining compatible with existing systems and installation processes. This initiative builds on i-PRO’s long-standing approach to security, including transparent handling of vulnerabilities and clear documentation of software components. These measures help customers better understand, manage, and trust the security of their systems over time.
Resist physical tampering
Key enhancements of the Security Update include:
- Alignment with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 cryptographic requirements through the integration of enhanced Secure Element components, designed to help protect encryption keys and resist physical tampering.
- Expanded Secure Boot functionality to help ensure that only authenticated and trusted firmware can execute on the device, helping reduce the risk of unauthorised software running even if a device is physically accessed or compromised.
- HTTPS enabled by default to strengthen secure communications and simplify deployment of cybersecurity best practices.
- Physical security improvements, including tamper-resistant hardware enhancements such as reinforced fastening mechanisms and secure screw designs to help prevent unauthorised opening of cameras.
This initiative does not update cameras already deployed and does not require replacement of existing installations. Current deployments remain secure, supported, and unchanged. The Security Update applies only to future versions of selected camera models, with no changes required to existing systems, installations, or workflows.
