CCTV Rules Tightened: New Government Norms to Boost Digital Security

• Government introduces stricter rules for CCTV systems and telecom devices to enhance digital security and prevent cyber incidents.
• New mandatory technical standards require companies to disclose hardware component sources and undergo inspections for vulnerabilities.
• Concerns about foreign-imported CCTVs with potential security flaws, especially after an espionage network discovery, prompted the changes.
• Government departments are mandated to use only compliant CCTVs and update old systems; telecom devices must be from approved companies.
• Individuals are urged to keep CCTVs updated to prevent hacking, and data protection laws are strengthened to secure personal information.
