Axis Edge Vault: hardware-based cybersecurity built into devices

Axis Communications has introduced Edge Vault, a hardware-based cybersecurity platform integrated directly into its devices. The solution safeguards device integrity and enables secure operations based on cryptographic keys that establish a chain of trust. In this way, users can verify the identity and authenticity of the device and be certain they are using a genuine Axis product. The platform enables secure boot, allowing the device to operate only with a signed operating system and authorized updates.

At the same time, Edge Vault protects sensitive information such as cryptographic keys and prevents manipulation of software or recordings. Signed video is also supported, making it possible to verify whether video footage has been altered after recording. The solution includes supply-chain protection, secure key storage, and detection of unauthorized access attempts. By using a unique device identifier, cameras can be securely onboarded to the network and deployed faster in zero-trust environments.

Protection is based on security modules, TPM technology, and an isolated environment within the chip that secures communication, authentication, and encrypted video streaming. Axis also states that part of its portfolio complies with the FIPS 140 standard, which defines requirements for cryptographic operations and further strengthens system resilience against cyber threats.
