In a new article for Business Reporter, Dr. James Johnstone, D.Eng., CISSP, Chief Information Security Officer at Yorktel-Kinly explores why AV has become a serious but often overlooked cyber risk for modern organisations. As attackers increasingly exploit suppliers and connected systems to gain lateral access, AV technology, now networked, software-driven and embedded within collaboration platforms, forms part of the enterprise attack surface. Yet it’s still frequently treated as facilities tech rather than critical infrastructure. In this feature, the article outlines: - Why AV belongs in your formal risk model - How supply chain exposure extends into meeting rooms - The gap between security knowledge and application - Why industry-wide AV Security Standards are essential If AV is in your rooms, it should be in your board-level security conversations.
