U.S. Government Still Uses Suspect Chinese Cameras

The United states banned the use of equipment from certain Chinese vendors but many of the cameras, around 2,700, are still in use. Its been difficult for government agencies to replace due to cost and technical challenges in some cases. This is great example of how tough vulnerability management and remediation can be when its at such a large scale. In some cases IT officials don’t think its a big deal and have been slow to remove cameras from their networks also showing how high level buy in is necessary in a process like remediation. In other cases they haven’t been replaced because they’re the cameras watching a bowling alley and not a nuclear facility so the risks are lower than the cost of replacing the cameras so nothing has been done about it.
