Axis Communications announced plans to expand the number of network physical security products certified to FIPS 140 under the Federal Information Processing Standards. This move will improve the cybersecurity postures of Axis customers that must meet the FIPS 140 certification, specifically in the government and critical infrastructure sectors.
FIPS are widely recognised as state-of-the-art security standards issued by the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) for the U.S. and Canada, and consequently also serve as a purchasing guideline across the private sector.
